Historical outline
Today, Váckovice no longer exists under its former name. If we would like to look for this village on a Ukrainian map, we should rather look for "Zaluzany", located about 7 km from Drohobych. The village was first mentioned in 1410, and over the centuries it changed owners, passing from the Wacowskis (or Waczowskis) of the Sas coat of arms, to the Laskowskis, the Ramults, the Stadnickys, and in the 19th and 20th centuries to the Tarnowskis.

It was a representative of the latter family, Countess Maria Tarnowska of Sniatynka, who funded a large sum to create an independent pastoral post. This was in the early 1920s. Up to that time, the village had been subordinate to the parish in Rychcice. Initially, an expatriate parish was created here, which was raised to the status of a non-removable parish in October 1928. A wooden sacral building was erected here in 1923. It was moved from nearby Lipovec. Its consecration took place in the same year.

The inspector visiting the temple in the early 1930s wrote: "a small, wooden church, but neatly kept, it has enough equipment". At that time, the parish included, among others: Wacowice, Sniatynka with Rakovec and Wola Jakubowa, Glinne and Stara Wieś.

The last parish priest left the village in spring 1945, and the church was closed a year later. Between 1955 and 1956, the building was demolished, at the same time using carpentry materials at the local orphanage. A memorial to the victims of the war has stood on the site since 1990.

Architecture
The church was located at the western end of the village. The building was probably oriented, of timber frame construction. In terms of material, the base was oak, but the shuttering (both inside and outside) was made of fir planks. In terms of massing, we were dealing with a rather homogeneous space about 13 m long and about 7 wide by 5 m high. To the left of the main altar was the sacristy. The music choir functioned as a balcony and was accessible by stairs from the interior. A curiosity was the ceiling of complex construction. There was an open porch at the front, supported by two wooden posts. A double oak door led into the church. The roofs were covered with zinc and copper sheets. The bell turret had a gilded cupola, topped with a cross. Crosses were also in the finial of the porch and the roof of the church and sacristy.

The most important elements related to the furnishings and surroundings of the church included:
. - An altarpiece "in the Orthodox style", with the upper part in the form of three turrets topped with crosses. In the field is a painting of the Annunciation, a copy of an unspecified Italian original. Wooden mensa and tabernacle;
. - Wooden pulpit, accessible from the sacristy, with a quadrilateral basket supported on a wooden pillar,
- Six-voice organ,
- Pheretrons, paintings, Stations of the Cross,
- Sculpture of the Risen Christ,
- Bell tower of oak beams, not planked,
- Three bells with Cyrillic inscriptions.
