St. Hubert, Patron Saint of...

...fur-trappers, furriers, and hunters... pray for us.

St. Hubert | R. León
On Good Friday morn, when the faithful were crowding thechurches, Hubert sallied forth to the chase. As he was pursuing a magnificent stag, the animal turned and, as thepious legend narrates, he was astounded at perceiving a crucifix between its antlers, while he heard a voice saying: "Hubert, unless thou turnest to the Lord, and leadest an holy life, thou shalt quickly go down into hell". Hubert dismounted, prostrated himself and said, "Lord, what wouldst Thou have me do?" He received the answer, "Go and seek Lambert, and he will instruct you." -Catholic.org

His feast is November 3rd, but if he intercedes for me and helps to guide some fur to my steel, I will venerate him and be very grateful.
