St. Charles Lwanga
Patron of African Youth and Catholic Action
Story: The leader of the pages and the "Shield of the Youth." He baptized the catechumens in secret and led the march to the Namugongo fires.
Inspiration: June 3rd is his triumph. He is the ultimate symbol of Ugandan conviction, standing firm while the world around him burned.
Reflective Prayer: “St. Charles Lwanga, protect our youth and ignite a fire of faith in our hearts.”
