Following his ordination, Bychok spent time as a missionary at the Mother Church of Perpetual Help in Prokopyevsk, Russia. He latter served as the superior of Saint Joseph's Redemptorists Monastery and pastor of the Mother Parish of Perpetual Help in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. From 2015 to 2020 Bychok served as the vicar of the Ukrainian Catholic parish of Saint John the Baptist in Newark, NJ, part of the Archieparchy of Philadelphia of the Ukrainians.[2]
