St Charles Lwanga - 3rd June

The story https://saintmichaelusa.org/0603-st-charles-lwanga/
St. Charles Lwanga was born in 1860 in the Kingdom of Buganda in the southern part of modern Uganda. He served as a page and later as a major-domo in the court of King Mwanga II. As part of the King’s effort to resist foreign colonization, he had begun to insist that Christian converts abandon their new faith, and executed many Anglicans and Catholics between 1855 and 1887. Many of those that were executed were officials in his Royal Court or otherwise very close to him. Among those executed was Charles Lwanga, and the Catholic Church recognizes him as a Ugandan Catholic Catechist martyred for his faith. His feast day is June 3rd, and he is venerated on the Liturgical calendar
