Feast of St Patrick

The feast of St Patrick is transferred from yesterday to today. We can communicate our faith in a variety of ways. For some it is by quiet example and faithfulness, for others it is through words and acts of service. St Patrick was a man of action, who overcame difficulty and suffering to return to Ireland and preach the gospel. In our time many seem to be falling away from the faith, yet in every age the Gospel is heard. In our own way we can preach it with our lives.
