St. Patrick was NOT Irish
It's that time of year again, where I like to remind everybody that
St. Patrick was NOT Irish. His parents were Roman, he wasn't born in Ireland, and he didn't grow up in Ireland. PATRICK (5th century). The enduring legends of St. Patrick are that he used a shamrock to explain the Trinity and that he banished all snakes from Ireland. The true story of Patrick, however, survives not in his myths but in his work. Patrick was responsible for converting the people of Ireland to Christianity. Patrick was born to a Romanized family in Britain probably in the first half of the 5th century. At the age of 16 he was taken to Ireland by pirates and sold into slavery. The young boy was sustained by his faith during his six years working as a herdsman. When Patrick escaped and returned to Britain, he had a vision of the Irish beseeching him to return to Ireland to spread his faith. Patrick recorded this call to his vocation in the 'Confessio', his spiritual autobiography and one of his two short writings that have survived. After studying in continental monasteries, Patrick returned to Ireland as a missionary. Despite a constant threat to his life, Patrick traveled widely, baptizing, confirming, and preaching and building churches, schools, and monasteries. Patrick succeeded in converting almost the entire population of the island. His 'Epistola' pleads the case of the Christian Irish at the hands of their British conquerors. Patrick's writings have come to be appreciated for their simplicity and humility. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. His feast day is celebrated on March 17.

St. Patrick didn't drive the snakes out of Ireland. He probably couldn't drive a golf cart out of Ireland, but I bet he could figure out how to fix your word wrap.
