ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH
Saints celebrated on the 17th of March
SAINT PATRICK, BISHOP, APOSTLE OF IRELAND
Saint Patrick, the apostle of Ireland, was born in Great Britain about 385, and taken captive and sold as a slave to Ireland when he was a young boy. He worked as a herdsman, escaped, and decided to become a priest. He was made Bishop for Ireland, and was indefatigable in preaching the faith throughout the country and in organising the Church there. He died in about 461, and was buried at Downpatrick.
PRAYER:
God our Father,
you sent Saint Patrick
to preach your glory to the people of Ireland.
By the help of his prayers,
may all Christians proclaim your love to all men.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
