Saint Hilary of Poitiers (†c. 367) was Bishop of Poitiers and a Doctor of the Church sometimes referred to as the "Hammer of the Arians" and the "Athanasius of the West." In addition to his important work as bishop, Hilary was the pre-eminent Latin writer of the 4th century. Augustine of Hippo called him "the illustrious doctor of the churches", and his works continued to be highly influential in later centuries. Pope Pius IX formally recognized him as a Doctor of the Church in 1851. In the Roman calendar of saints, Hilary's feast day is on 13 January and he is considered to be the patron saint of lawyers.
