Saint Luke church (Ukrainian: Церква Святого Апостола Луки) is a Greek Catholic parish church (UGCC) in Zolotnyky of the Zolotnyky rural hromada of the Ternopil Raion of the Ternopil Oblast.
History
Construction of the church began in 1880 at the initiative of local residents. Five-sixths of the required amount was collected by the community, and the remaining funds were provided by the local gentry. The head of the construction committee was Mr. Buda, and the construction work was managed by the engineer Ferrari. The consecration of the church took place in 1890, and the parish was restored in 1991, when its charter was registered.[1]
On 25 February 2013, an episcopal visitation was held, led by Metropolitan Vasyl Semeniuk. The following groups are active at the parish: the Sodality of Our Lady, the "Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network" brotherhood, the Altar Society, and the "Mothers in Prayer" community. The church also has two choirs: a senior choir and a youth choir named "Harmoniia".[1]
