Quick Summary

Saint Ambrose Kibuka was one of the 45 Anglican and Roman Catholic martyrs executed in Uganda between 1885 and 1887 during the persecution of Christians under King Mwanga. He was among the group of Christian pages who were arrested and subsequently burned alive on June 3, 1886, for their faith. The Roman Catholic martyrs were beatified in 1920 and canonized in 1964, with their feast day observed on June 3rd. Mwanga's persecution targeted both Catholic and Protestant missionaries and their followers, leading to the deaths of many, including Ambrose Kibuka.1
