a primer on St. Patrick

As you know, Mac attends a Catholic school here in Sao Paulo, so it wasn't surprising when he came home from school the other day saying that they watched a video on St. Patrick in anticipation of March 17. Not knowing anything about St. Patrick myself (and assuming he had nothing to do with leprechauns wearing green trying to find four-leaf clovers), I was interested to hear what Mac learned about this guy.

1. He was born in 1968.
2. He died in 1964 (he obviously did a lot in -4 years to get a holiday named after him).
3. He was a good guy.

I'm not sure how long the video lasted, but that's what Mac took away from it. All you ever wanted to know about the saint himself!
