About Saint Hilary of Poitiers
Hilary, born around 310 in Roman Gaul, embraced Christianity as an adult and became bishop of Poitiers. Exiled to Phrygia for opposing Arian teaching, he studied Greek theology and defended Christ’s full divinity in his work On the Trinity. His learning and courageous pastoral leadership earned him recognition as a Doctor of the Church.
