Bl. Hryhoriy Lakota

Hryhoriy Lakota (1883–1950) was auxiliary bishop of Peremyshl (Przemyśl) for Ukrainian Greek Catholics. An auxiliary bishop assists the diocesan bishop. He was one of the Ukrainian Greek Catholics persecuted for their faith under Communist rule whom John Paul II beatified as martyrs in 2001. The cited source gives only these basic facts.

Hryhoriy Lakota was beatified in 2001.

Beatification allows public veneration, usually in a particular region or religious family. Canonization extends it to the whole Church.
