Patrick, St (
c.389–
c.461). Patron saint of Ireland. Born in Britain, in his youth he was seized by raiders and taken to Ireland. In slavery for six years, he was sustained by prayer. Told in a dream of his impending return home, he made his way to the coast and joined a merchant ship, facing many dangers before rejoining his family. In clerical training, he seems to have spent some years in France, where he was probably consecrated by St
Germanus before embarking on his evangelistic work in Ireland. Often at risk, he was fearlessly determined to destroy paganism. Through his tireless efforts, countless numbers were baptized and confirmed, many clergy ordained, and his see established at
Armagh, whence he began to organize the emerging church on Roman diocesan lines.
