• St. Patrick

  St. Patrick, whose feast day on March 17 has become an almost international event, is the main Patron Saint of Ireland. Less well known is the fact that he shares this honour with two other Irish people of the early Christian period (5th/6th centuries); the missionary St Columba (also called Colmcille) and the abbess Brigid (known as Bride in England).
