Today is the feast day of St. Hilary of Poitiers. Hilary lived in the 4th century and was bishop of Poitiers, France.
He was known as a great theologian and defender of the Trinity. He fought against the strong heresy in his day and was even exiled for pushing back against the heresy of Arianism. He was eventually released and returned to service as a bishop.
In 1851, St. Hilary was declared a Doctor of the Church. He is the patron of children with disabilities.
St. Hilary of Poitiers, pray for us!
