Saint Lucia Celebrates Centenarian Nathaniel “Gato” Hippolyte

Saint Lucia welcomed its newest Centenarian, Nathaniel “Gato” Hippolyte, on Old Year’s Night. Celebrating his 100th birthday at Orchid Gardens in Union, Mr. Hippolyte’s family reflected on his life, raising 13 children and now having over 50 grandchildren. Despite losing his sight at 98, he remains independent and active, attending church every Sunday. His children fondly remember his strong work ethic, strict parenting, and enduring principles.
