The Roman Catholic church in Kutkivtsi Village was built in 1786. It functionated until 1932. From 1933 until 1957, the village House of Culture and library were situated in the former church building. In 1957, there was a great fire in the building and it was almost destroyed. Only the walls remained. In 1959, due to the inhabitants of the village and the Lenins'kyi shliah ("Lenin's Way") collective farm, the building was restored with the large sum of money they gave. In 1990, due to the application from the village believers, the building was altered and given back to the church.
The Pyatnychans'ka Church from 1873, in Kutnivtsi Village, is situated in the same place where it was founded. Later, full reconstruction and major repairs of the roof were carried out. It is in good condition.
