Saint Patrick: Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit

As a boy, Patrick was captured by pirates and sent to Ireland to become a lonely shepherd. After many years, he escaped and returned to England and became a priest, then a bishop. Patrick asked to be sent back to Ireland to spread Christianity to the people there, traveling around the country for over 30 years. Saints are real-life heroes of faith who inspire us with their virtues to become more like Christ. In the Saints and Me! series, these beautifully illustrated early reader books tell the real stories of saints that come to life for children.
