PRESENTATION OUTLINE
History
Saint Patrick, whose real name is Maewyn Succat, was born at 387 in Kilpatrick, Scotland.
After six years in Ireland, he learned to speak in Celtic. Soon after, he escaped to France, where he embraced clerical life and was ordained a priest.
However, his trip did not end here, but he returned with 46 years to Ireland to evangelize its inhabitants for three decades. Finally, he died on March 17, 461.
The call exhorted him to preach Catholicism throughout the island, was instructing the word of God to the thousands of pagans of Viking stock.
The first thing he did was to build a church. Its popularity was such that the current cathedral of Dublin was erected in that place precisely, because there was a well that Saint Patrick used to baptize the converts.
