Let's not forget Saint Declan. St Declan was a contemporary of St Patrick who also brought Catholicism to Ireland. the only difference is that St Declan was Irish while St Patrick was not! Many believe that St Declan should be the patron saint, (my grandson is named Declan!)

Happy Irish Day!

St. Patrick was not the first Bishop to Ireland.
St. Palladius was.
