An urgent need to build a new larger church has emerged, so the parishioners began to raise funds to build a church. They turned for to help in the construction of the temple to the Director of the National Park "Synevyr" Mykola Derbak. The management of the park has provided wood and equipment to assist in laying the foundation. Therefore, the first phase of work was completed successfully: the foundation for the church was filled and consecrated.
