Saint Hubert’s Feast Day, celebrated on November 3rd, honors the patron saint of hunters, forest workers, and those who seek protection against animal diseases. Saint Hubert’s life is celebrated for his profound spiritual transformation, which occurred when he encountered a magnificent stag bearing a radiant cross between its antlers while on a hunting expedition. This divine encounter led him to dedicate his life to faith and later become the Bishop of Liège. On this day, we come together to seek his intercession for guidance, protection, and a harmonious relationship with nature. It’s a day for reflection on the balance between human stewardship of the environment and the awe-inspiring wonders of the natural world, symbolized by the sacred stag.

Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. – Psalm 112:5
