Yustyn (Yurii) Boiko was born on 26 May 1977 in Dora, which is now part of the city of Yaremche, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.[3]

In 1994, he entered the monastery of monks of the Studite Order of the UGCC, where in 1998 he took eternal vows to God.[3]

In 2000, he graduated from the Catholic University and the Higher Theological Seminary in Lublin, Poland.[3]

The international professors' committee gave the thesis the highest grade of "MAGNUM CUM LAUDE" with a recommendation to publish it in full.[5]
