Facts about St. Patrick
St. Patrick of Ireland is one of the world’s most popular saints.
Apostle of Ireland, born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387; died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17 March, 461.
There are many legends and stories of St. Patrick, but this is his story.
Patrick was born around 385 in Scotland, probably Kilpatrick. His parents were Calpurnius and Conchessa, who were Romans living in Britain in charge of the colonies.
As a boy of fourteen or so, he was captured during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. Ireland at this time was a land of Druids and pagans. He learned the language and practices of the people who held him.
During his captivity, he turned to God in prayer. He wrote;

The story of St Patrick really starts when he was 16 years old. He was captured by Irish bandits and sold into slavery in County Antrim. He remained in captivity here for six years, tending sheep in the Slemish mountains. According to folklore he saw this time as God’s way of testing his faith and he soon became devoted to Christianity.
Around 408, St Patrick is said to have had a dream in which he escaped slavery and returned to England. Upon waking he decided to make this dream a reality. He escaped his captors and convinced some sailors to let him travel on their ship.
But, according to one interpretation of the tale, he and the rest of the crew had to abandon ship in France. St Patrick then wandered lost for 28 days and 200 miles.
After being reunited with his family back in England, Patrick returned to France wh
