Martyrs of Uganda

A group of courtiers and servants who died with St. Charles Lwanga in the court of King Mwanga of Uganda. Some martyrs were young boys. They were slain with horrible cruelty.

All were converts of the White Fathers founded by Charles Cardinal Lavigerie in 1868. A shrine, now a basilica, was erected in their honor. They were canonized in 1964.
