The story of St. Patrick is amazing.

Too bad 99% of Irish-Americans don’t know it.

Here is a hint.

St. Patrick was not Irish.

And Ireland, at the time, the hub of the slave trade.

He was Wilhelm (german/dutch?) who changed his name three times to now a fake Italian. Is he going to cover the Five Points with each new name change? What will the last one be? Antoine Jackson?

Wrong! St Patrick was Irish. He was captured in a pirate raid and sold as a slave. He later wound up in Rome became a Christian and a priest. He returned to Ireland and preached the Gospel converting many. He was one of many “peregrines” who had gone to Rome to take orders and returned to Ireland
