This saint is the patron of hunters. In his honor bread is blessed in some churches. The Church asks God to preserve those who eat of this bread from the bite of mad dogs, from the plague, and other diseases.

  My truth and My mercy shall be with him: and in My name shall of his horn be exalted. –Offertory: Psalm lxxxviii.

 Behold I know all men and see all things that are done under the sun; and I know how it is with everyone –what he thinks, what he would have, and at what his intention aims. –Imitation: Book III.

 Ideal: Not so long ago, we had two saints who were shoemakers . This saint was a remarkable hunter. In fact, he is the patron of hunters. It is said, though, that he was too fond of the chase, and God brought him to his senses by a vision at which Hubert left forever the sport he so loved and gave himself entirely to the service of God and hunting souls.

  Today: Perhaps you simply must have some ice cream, or a cookie or two after school each day or you thing you will die. You cannot love those more than St. Hubert loved hunting. Give them up for today. For this one day, give up as many things as possible that you might class under luxuries for the love of God makes you strong and soldierlike.

~ Slogan: Give and it shall be given you, pressed down and heaped up and running over.
