St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs of UgandaFeast day: Jun 03

St. Charles and many other martyrs for the faith died between November 15, 1885 – January 27, 1887 in Namugongo, Uganda.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral held a rare “Mass of Reparation” at the historic Midtown church to atone for the “sacrilegious” funeral service of a trans woman there last week.
