Uganda Martyrs

THE UGANDA MARTRYS
3rd JUNE NATIONAL CELEBRATIONS

Even without the usual crowds at Namugongo, the witness of the Uganda Martyrs will be celebrated with faith, hope, and a deep sense of communion – from homes, parishes, and small Christian communities across the nation.

LITURGICAL SEASON

ORDINARY TIME : As depicted in John 10:10 (“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”)

ORDINARY TIME
Runs from the day after Pentecost until the First Sunday of Advent.

During these weeks, we reflect on the mystery of Christ in all its fullness – the life of the Church, the call to holiness, and the final judgment. Green vestments remind us of the hope we have in the Risen Lord.

The Uganda Martrys witness reminds us that no fear, suffering, or earthly power can extinguish the light of Christ. In moments of trial and uncertainty, they remained firm because they trusted in God. As St. Paul asks: ‘Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?’ (Romans 8:35).

LIFE AND TIMES

Milestones

Matthew 5:14-16

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven

I heard a voice from heaven say, — Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.…… “let them find rest from their labors, for their works accompany them.”…..“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest“….And whoever enters into God’s rest, rests from his own works as God did from his.”

Our Faithful Departed

"We will always remember you for a life lived with purpose, a faith kept with honor. You fought the good fight, you finished the race, and you kept the faith. Rest now in the eternal peace of the Father’s embrace."
