Born in Gany, near Uzhhorod, Austrian Empire (present day – Ukraine) in 1853, he was ordained a priest on 27 March 1881 for the Ruthenian Catholic Eparchy of Mukacheve.[1] Fr. Drohobeczky was active in popular education and local politic in Zakarpattia.
He was confirmed as the Bishop by the Holy See on 17 December 1891. He was consecrated to the Episcopate on 26 May 1892. The principal consecrator was Bishop Yuliy Firtsak and co-consecrators were Bishop Ján Vályi and Bishop Mihail Pavel.[2]
He died in Strmac Pribićki, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (present day – Croatia) on 11 February 1934.[3]
