St. Patrick: A Short History
St. Patrick, like St. Valentine, is one of those Saints that
seems to have more legends about him than data. How-
ever, unlike St. Valentine, there are a few more things
we can know about him other than he exists.
St. Patrick wrote two documents that still survive today:
an autobiography called The Confessions of St. Patrick
and a letter reprimanding an Irish chieftain called the
Letter to the soldiers of Coroticus.
In these documents we discover the story of a Roman boy kidnapped by raid-
ers and sold into slavery in Ireland. Patrick found his Faith as a slave, eventu-
ally escaping back to his home and becoming a priest. He heard God’s call to
return to Ireland as a missionary to convert and minister to his former captors.
He obeyed, and is largely responsible for the conversion of the entire popu-
lace.
That seems quite a bit more impressive than driving out snakes, doesn’t it?

The Three Pillars of Lent
Transform your Fast
Consider putting all the money you save while fasting to good use. Put it into a program like Catho-
lic Relief Services’ Rice Bowl, so that when you fast, others may eat.
Family
Promise
We will be hosting at the Cathedral March 24-31.
Volunteer Needs: I am using SignUp genius to track our volunteer shifts. If you would prefer not to use it, please just email or call me and I will sign you up for your preferred shift!
We need at least 2 adults per shift. If you have kids, please consider bringing them along for an evening hosting shift! I have added two new volunteer shifts: grocery shopping on the Saturday before (the 23rd) and laundry after our week! If either of these shifts sound like something you are able to help with, please be sure to add those slots to your sign-up!
