Bishop Sus was born in family of Yaroslav and Oksana (née Bodnar) Sus in Lviv, but grew up in the neighbouring village Chyshky in Pustomyty Raion. After graduation of the school education in Chyshky and the historical-philosophical lyceum run by the Order of Saint Basil the Great in Buchach, he joined the Theological Seminary in Lviv, simultaneously studying in the Ukrainian Catholic University (1999–2006).[1] After graduation he was ordained as priest on June 30, 2006.[2]

He continued his study in the University of Lviv with magister in the philosophy degree and in the Catholic University of Lublin with magister in the pastoral theology degree. During 2006–2011 he worked as a military chaplain in Lviv and from 2011 until his bishop's appointment in 2019 was parish priest in the Saints Peter and Paul Garrison Church in Lviv.[1]

On November 15, 2019, he was confirmed by Pope Francis as Curial Bishop of Ukrainian Catholic Major Archeparchy of Kiev–Galicia, Ukraine and Titular Bishop of Zygris. He was consecrated as bishop by Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk and other hierarchs of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Kyiv on 12 January 2020.[2]

gollark: No, Go is. It broke containment.
gollark: ```Little known fact: GHC compiles code by literally emailing it to the sixth circle of Hell, so no one knows how it works, not even the Type-level Deacons and other curators of scripture. The email address was revealed to the Haskell committee one moonless night when they sacrificed Simon Peyton Jones in an unholy ritual that they reenact every year at the monadic.party. The present-day SPJ is actually a decoy hired by FP Complete to preserve the illusion that anyone in the community even has a clue as to how to build working software.```
gollark: Well, things with more *features* might be slower.
