Roman Lysko was a Ukrainian Greek Catholic priest born in 1914 in Horodok. After graduating from the Lviv Theological Academy, he was ordained by Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky in 1941. He served various parishes, including those in Kotliw and Belzets, and was an active leader within the Plast youth organization. During the Soviet era, he faced intense persecution for refusing to renounce his faith and convert to Orthodoxy, eventually dying in a Lviv prison in 1949.
