| Pruchnik Parish dates back to 1436 when the Gothic-style, masonry church was erected and dedicated as Saint Nicholas. In 1785, the Deanery of Pruchnik (an extended area comprised of about ten Roman Catholic parishes) contained 9278 ethnic Poles, 8572 Ruthenians, and 716 Jews. Today, Pruchnik Parish still heads the Deanery of Pruchnik in the Archdiocese of Przemysl. In 1900, the twelve villages of Pruchnik Parish were in the Jaroslau (Jaroslaw) administrative district and Pruchnik township (gmina). Pruchnik held a synagogue where the Jewish residents of the twelve villages all worshipped. It also held a Greek Catholic parish church where Greek Catholic residents of Hawlowice, Pruchnik Miasto, Pruchnik Wies, Tyniowice and Wegierka worshipped. In 1888, the town of Pruchnik contained 205 homes and 740 Roman Catholic, 188 Greek Catholic, and 188 Jewish residents. In 1921, it had a population of 1697 residents. |
