Nicholas Charnetsky was a 20th-century Ukrainian Greek Catholic bishop and a member of the Redemptorist congregation. Born in Semakivtsi in 1884, he studied in Rome and later served as a professor of theology. He was appointed as the titular bishop of Lebed and an apostolic visitor to several regions, where he worked to improve relations between Catholic and Orthodox communities. Following the Soviet invasion, he was arrested and endured long years of imprisonment and torture, eventually dying in Lviv in 1959.
