The Saints of the Day, June 3, 2009, are St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, martyrs.

This is what the Daily Roman Missal notes: "King Mwanga of Uganda launched persecutions of Christians in response to their opposition to his homosexual and corrupt court. St. Charles, the master of his pages, was martyred with fourteen other pages on June 3, 1886,; other companions were killed later."
