Saints celebrated on the 24th of August
SAINT PATRICK II., BISHOP OF ARMAGH
Saint Patrick (Patricius), was a holy bishop and confessor of Gladston (Glastonia, [Glastonbury]), a son of Senanus, a brother of Saint Patrick who, after the death of this great missionary, ascended the primate chair of Armagh (Ardmacha), which he occupied until A.D. 470. His holy relics probably rest at Gladston, although Resdela also claims to possess some of them (VI. 833).
