History

The church was solemnly consecrated on the second day of Easter in 1811. Since then, it has been the Church of the Resurrection.[1]

According to village legends, its predecessor was an old church located not far from the current village council building. During one of the fires, it was badly damaged. The burnt-out building was sold to the village of Krasnosiltsi, Zolochiv Raion, Lviv Oblast, and another, also wooden, was moved from Zaliztsi.[1]

For a long time, the church was subordinated to the Zolochiv Deanery of the Lviv Archeparchy of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.[1]

In the postwar period, the Soviet authorities deprived the parishioners of Kalne of the right to pray in their native church for decades. But people refused to give up their church keys at the repeated demands of government officials. Every Sunday, on holidays, they would secretly open the church and pray without a priest, singing church and religious songs. The local authorities allowed a priest from the neighboring village of Rozhadiv to attend funerals and confessions of the sick. The official permission from the state authorities to resume worship in the church was received in the fall of 1987, but in affiliation with the Russian Orthodox Church. In 1992, the community rejoined the UGCC.[1]

On 21 September 2008, during the celebration of the 560th anniversary of the first written mention of the village, a monument to the grave of priest at. Luka Demchuk, who was the maternal grandfather of the former head of the UGCC, Cardinal Liubomyr Huzar, was consecrated with the participation of Cardinal Liubomyr Huzar.[1]

The church has the following organizations: Sodality of Our Lady, the Mothers in Prayer community, and the Altar Wife.[1]
