Saint Joseph the Betrothed Church

Temple , Architecture

The Church of Saint Joseph the Betrothed in Chechelnyk was founded in 1751 by Stanisłav Lubomyrskyi, the voivode of Krakow and Kyiv.

In 1786, a stone one was built on the site of the burnt wooden temple, which has survived to this day.

The church contains a miraculous copy of the icon of the Czestochowa Mother of God by an unknown artist.

During the Soviet rule, the church was closed, the bell tower was destroyed (now there are other buildings in its place). The miraculous image was hidden by believers, but it was damaged due to improper storage. In 1991, the Franciscan Fathers Maksymilyan Zhydovskyi and Yan Duklyan Pavlyuk took the canvas to Poland, where it was restored and consecrated by Pope John Paul II, after which the icon returned to Chechelnyk.

Currently, Saint Joseph's Church is being restored by the efforts of Franciscan monks and Albertine sisters. The priest's house has also been preserved, but is in a state of disrepair.

In 2015, the church was declared a diocesan sanctuary of the Mother of God of Chechelnytska.
