History

According to unconfirmed data, in 1600 Dominican monks settled here, who in 1610 moved to Chortkiv. In 1912, the Dominican Fathers built and consecrated the branch church of the parish in Chortkiv (parish church — the church of St. Stanislaus) in Shmankivtsi at their own expense.

In Soviet times, the shrine was closed — it made a granary.

In 1986, the returned church was renovated. The parish has 7 members.^[1]
