St. Patrick’s Day all over the world. At 16 years old he was kidnapped by pirates and taken to Ireland where he was sold as a slave. As a slave he was forced to work as a shepherd. He spent many long hours alone taking care of the sheep out in the fields. He felt lonely and scared. During this time Patrick began to think about God. He repented from his sin and unbelief and he turned to God with all his heart.
