Saint Michael church (Ukrainian: Церква чуда святого Архистратига Михаїла в Хонах) is a Greek Catholic parish church (UGCC) in Verbiatyn of the Buchach urban hromada, Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast.
The wooden church was built in 1893.[1]
Until 1990, the parish and the church was a subsidiary branch of a larger church,[2] so priests from Ozeriany served there. In 1990, the community of Verbiatyn became independent and moved to the UAOC, and in 2018 it became part of the OCU.[3]
On 22 September 2019, Archbishop Tykhon of Ternopil and Buchach visited the parish.[4]
