Bishop Hryhoriy, a good friend of Fr. Marsden, is Auxiliary Bishop of Drohobych of the Ukrainians and titular Bishop of Acci (near Guadix in Spain). He was ordained Bishop in August 2014, at which time he was the second-youngest Bishop in the world at the age of 38.

Accompanying Bishop Hryhoriy was seminarian Andriy Kuzma, who is about to start his fifth year of studies at the Drohobych Spiritual Seminary of the blessed priest martyrs Severin, Vitaliy and Yakov. These three were priests of Drohobych murdered by the Soviets during and after the war.
