thumb|Podhorochany on the map of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria Bohorodchany (, ) is a rural settlement in Ivano-Frankivsk Raion, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, Ukraine. It is located several miles from the administrative center of the oblast, Ivano-Frankivsk. It hosts the administration of Bohorodchany settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Population: The settlement was also known as Podhorochany.
==History== It is not known when the town was established, but it was first mentioned in 1441 as a property of certain Jan of Buczacz, the starost of Trembowla (today Terebovlia). Since the second half of the 15th century the local estate belonged to the Potocki family. In 1691 Konstancja Potocka née Truskolaska, widow of the owner of the village Dominik Potocki, established a Roman Catholic church and a parish there. In 1742 the wooden church was replaced with a more permanent construction, founded by Stanisław Kossakowski and devoted to the cult of Holy Mary. In 1765 the new church was donated to the Dominican Order, whose friars established a convent there.
