There seems to be no better time to remember what this important figure actually represents: forgiveness.
In our modern celebrations of the Irish patron saint however, this message is often lost. To share the authentic legacy of St. Patrick and remember WHO we celebrate, we hope you will enjoy this 3-minute video. Created by two-award winning television producers and in conjunction with @Give Us This Day , this video kicks off our Sober St. Patrick’s Day® celebration which we will host in New York City for the 13th year on March 16, 2024. We hope this video inspires you to make the month of March more meaningful. |

The Wisdom of St. Patrick by Greg Tobin.
The Wisdom of St. Patrick by Greg Tobin.
Of all the saints through the centuries, St. Patrick stands out as the most universally beloved--and the symbol of all that is Irish. Although much of his life has been shrouded in myth and legend, two of his important writings have survived. St. Patrick's voice speaks to us clearly and compellingly in these documents. And from the well of his thoughts, consolation and understanding can be drawn.
The Wisdom of St. Patrick celebrates the life and the spirit of this remarkable individual, revealing a powerful, charismatic man whose thoughts are just as relevant today as they were more than a millennium ago. Accessibly arranged by spiritual topics ranging from honesty and grace to faith and prayer, St. Patrick's own words are enriched by commentary on his life and times, contemplations that tie into issues of daily life, and a meaningful prayer relevant to each quoted passage. |
