[[File:Вп августин маркевич 2.jpg|right|thumb|Archbishop Augustine in 2010.]]
Thanks to the efforts of Archbishop Augustine, the Diocese of Lviv was saved from being eliminated by the local authorities. After the previous Bishop of Lviv, [[w:Andriy Horak|Andrey (Goraka) ]] retired, along with many of the clergy, the authorities of the Lviv region removed the official registration of the Diocese of Lviv (UOC-MP). They also threatened to remove the Pokrovsky Cathedral, the Diocesan Administration building, the residence of the Bishop, the Archive, and the Sacristy from the Diocese's control.
Archbishop Augustine was able to obtain the official registration of the Diocese again, and thanks to him many of the non-canonical clergy returned to the bosom of the canonical Church. During his [[episcopate]], Archbishop Augustine has been subjected to many threats and direct attacks from the opponents of the UOC-MP.
