Paweł Starżyński, the owner of the city of Yarmolyntsi, in 1761 invited Franciscan Observants – Bernardine to the pastoral ministry. It was also this year that the monastery parish was founded. In the church under the invocation of St. John of Nepomuk and St. Anthony of Padua brothers performed sacramental service and spiritual care of the local people. In addition to pastoral and preaching work it is worth mentioning the existence of a parish school. It was not only a place forlay education, but also a place of catechization of children. Additionally, the brotherhood of St. Anna was active in the parish and dealt with spiritual care of adults.
