St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Church

St. Charles Lwanga and Companions

Feast Day: June 3

St. Charles Lwanga and his companions were a group of young men martyred in Uganda in the late 19th century for their Christian faith. They served King Mwanga and, facing severe persecution for their refusal to abandon their beliefs, remained steadfast in their commitment to Christ. Their courage in the face of death demonstrates profound faith and integrity.
