A Wee Bit About
the Great Saint Patrick

Believe it or not; he did NOT invent GREEN BEER!
St Patrick, best known as the Missionary Apostle and
patron
Saint of Ireland was born in Roman Britain
around 387AD.

Captured as a youth and sold into slavery by Irish pirates;
he turned to his Christian Faith for solace and strength
during
his years in captivity. When he finally escaped;
he vowed to return
to spread the "GOOD NEWS".
The dates are murky in history but it is believed that he
returned
to Ireland about 415 and faithfully worked as a
zealous priest
and bishop for the rest of his long life.
(Patrick dies in 493AD. Some sources say 460 or 461. --Ed.)
One thing we know for sure; Patrick was a great man of
strong will
and deep faith in the TRIUNE GOD.

st patrick
Most scholars believe that St Patrick died on March 17
in 461AD. It is a national holiday in Ireland  and also on
the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean which was
founded by Irish refugees. It is a bank holiday in
Northern Ireland and a provincial holiday in the

Canadian province of Newfoundland.
There have been many failed attempts to make it a

National Holiday in the United States.
Should we be working on making it a legal Holiday?
And finally, here is a great traditional Irish Toast
for St. Patrick's Day;

 "May the roof above us never fall in, and may
we friends beneath it never fall out."

Letter from the Publisher...
We wish all of you a great St. Patrick's Day!! We hope you found information here that will make your St. Patrick's Day Celebrations better than ever.

As most of you know, the weekly Irish E-Missive is a service of the
Irish News and Entertainment. 
We are now in our 18th Calendar Year of printing.
We revised our print schedule and we started expanding our
distribution as of our January-February issue.
Instead of printing on a monthly basis, we now print every other
month and we are printing an additional two Special Issues each year.
 A few less issues reflect the changes in our economy and the newspaper industry. We firmly believe that the demand still exists for
a quality niche market publication and these changes will help
us continue to deliver a paper with great Irish Content on a regular basis. In addition, we have another great change to announce;
with our next issue we are changing our format to a magazine style tabloid layout. No more fold and the actual page size will be slightly smaller. The print edition of our paper is going national and adding
new features. We think the NEW LOOK and REACH will be an enhancement and welcome change that our readers will appreciate.
As always, we want to hear from you, so please send us your
comments and questions.
If you like the Irish News E-Missive;
You are not alone...

We now have over 4500 Weekly Readers!!
and we add more every week.
