History The first church in Bielanka was built in 1650. The temple that has survived to this day, however, is 103 years younger (1753) and is located in a different place than the previous building. In 1947, during the displacement of the Lemko people from Bielanka as part of the Operation "Vistula", the church was set on fire, but only the roof was destroyed. After 1947, the building was taken over by the Latin Church. The building was renovated and covered with a ridge roof. In the second half of the 1950s, the former inhabitants of Bielanka began to return to the village and the church became a temple of the Orthodox parish, but Latin rite Catholics retained the right to share it. After 1989, the Greek Catholic Church also began to operate legally and its parish was also given the opportunity to use the facility. Under the Act [2], the church in Bielanka was the only church in southern Poland that was in dispute between the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church and the Greek Catholic Church in Poland, it became the property of the latter, for compensation for the Orthodox Church [3]. Currently, Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic services are held in the church. The temple also served the local Orthodox parish until the Orthodox built their own church (September 2014).
