 St Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day, feast day (March 17) of St.Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. Born in Britain in the late 4th century, he was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped but returned about 432 CE to convert the Irish to Christianity. By the time of his death on March 17, 461, he had established monasteries, churches, and schools. Many legends grew up around him—for example, that he drove the snakes out of Ireland and used the shamrock to explain the Trinity. Ireland came to celebrate his day with religious services and feasts. Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated on Wednesday, March 17, 2021.

Students and teachers at St Paul’s celebrated St Patrick’s day by wearing green and participating in classroom activities to learn about St Patrick.
