In 1897, a church was consecrated in Kolomyia, built on a design by the Polish architect Dionis Krzyczkowski. The temple of St Ignatius Loyola was made of brick in neo-Gothic style. Finishing work continued until 1905. At the turn of 1920-1930, Wacław Jakub Jeziorko from Bochnia made frescoes in the church. In the main altar of the church was a painting of Our Lady of Kolomyia-Pokutsk, dated 1635. In 1946, the Jesuits left Kolomyia for Poland, taking some of the furnishings with them. The painting of the Kolomyia-Pokutskaya Mother of God then went to the Capuchin church in Skomielna Czarna. After the Jesuits left the temple, it was closed and then used as a warehouse for a furniture shop. In 1991, the building was returned to the care of the Church. In 1993, the restorer Pawel Pietrusinski made a copy of the above-mentioned painting, thus placing it once again in the Kolomyia temple. There are Polish-related plaques in the church. The first, unveiled in 1925 on the Kolomyia market square, commemorates the defenders of Poland's independence. The second plaque honours the memory of the 175th anniversary of the death of the Polish poet Franciszek Karpiński, born in Holoskovo, 30 kilometres from Kolomyia. The third plaque, not preserved in its original version, commemorated the Polish Jesuit Piotr Skarga (1536-1612). It was set into the façade of the church on 20 October 1912. During the Soviet era, it was dismantled. The Our Town initiative, in which both Polish and Ukrainian social and state activists collaborated, undertook to rebuild the plaque. The work was done by Ukrainian artist Valery Didorak. The unveiling and dedication of the plaque took place in 2013.
