Martrys of Uganda 
Stained Glass Depicting the Martyrs of Uganda 3 June 1886

Martyrs of Uganda

Martyrs of Uganda Circle
The Martyrs of Uganda is a service and charitable organization.  The organization was named in honor of 32 young Ugandan men who died at Namugongo  for their faith rather than compromise their beliefs.   

The Martyrs of Uganda Circle was organized while parishoners worshiped temporarily at St. Thomas Church, prior to the move back to St. Augustine Parish. The organization's motto is: "So Encourage Each Other to Build Each Other Up," from 1 Thessalonian, Chapter 5, Verse 11. The primary fundraisers are the Spaghetti Supper and the Christmas Store held in December of each year.

The Martyrs of Uganda Circle meets the first Sunday of each month. Dr. Joyce Young leads the Martyrs of Uganda.

Remembering the Martyrs of Uganda
On 3 June 1886, these pages of the court of King Mwanga of Buganda, were burned to death at Namugongo for their refusal to renounce Christianity.  The young men unknowingly converted many to Christianity by their example.  They sang hymns and prayed for their torturers, while on the way to certain death.  Their selfless acts inspired many to stand and thus, Christians throughout the country begin to die willingly for their faith, also.

Ultimately the King's plan to put Christianity to death backfired.  Or, as many Black Catholics are known to say, "He [the King] meant it for evil, but God meant it for good." 

Charles Lwanga, the best known, is now the patron of youth and Catholic action in a large part of Africa. The Catholic martyrs were canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1964.
