SAINT PATRICK ~ Born in Scotland in 375 AD
AS A TEEN he was kidnapped and taken to IRELAND
IN IRELAND he worked as a Shepherd for six years. He
NEVER liked being a Slave so he escaped
TO WALES where he met up with his Parents. He
LOVED GOD and the Truths of the BIBLE. He
YEARNED to be a Priest and serve GOD in the CHURCH
PATRICK travelled to FRANCE and he trained to become
A PRIEST. He received a direct call for GOD to return
TO IRELAND to strenghen the CHURCH and teach the FAITH. He
REACHED many people and ministered and worked
IN IRELAND for over 40 years ! Through his work IRELAND became
CHRISTIAN in 432 AD. PATRICK died in 470 AD aged 95. His
KINSHIP with IRELAND and the IRISH is celebrated on 17 MARCH
