On April 2, 1977, he was ordained bishop in Rome by the then Grand Archbishop of Lviv , Jossyf Cardinal Slipyj - an ordination without the consent of the then Pope Paul VI.

In 1978 Husar returned to Ukraine as a bishop; Among other things, he played a key role in founding the Ternopil Studion Monastery.

The official papal confirmation of Husar's bishopric was in 1996 by Pope John Paul II , who on February 22, 1996 appointed him titular bishop of Nisa in Lycia and appointed him auxiliary bishop in Lemberg. The Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian Catholic Church had already elected him to this office in 1994.

He did not take part in the 2013 conclave , which Pope Francis elected, because he exceeded the age limit of 80 years.
