Saint Patrick’s Day


Saint Patrick’s Day

By: Valerie Sunajo
C’mon guys! Let’s go meet a leprechaun, find a pot of gold, and wish on a four leaf clover!  Coming up on March 17 we celebrate, Saint Patrick’s Day!  This day is when we celebrate Saint Patrick, himself.  Saint Patrick was a patron saint of Ireland, but before this he was kidnapped by Irish Raiders.  After escaping, he returned to his homeland, Britain, and became a priest.  Later, he went back to Ireland as a missionary to spread Christianity to Ireland. There, he spent 30 years building ministries of worship all around Ireland. Celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day, allows people to honor his accomplishments, and his entry to heaven.  So, on March 17 remember the reason why you are celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day, and make sure to wear green, to show your appreciation.
