Saint Patrick Resources in Print
The impact of Thomas Cahill's bestseller is tremendous. Thanks to his work, the world now appreciates how remarkable St. Patrick's accomplishments are. Not only did he bring Christianity to a land the Roman's thought was too remote and hostile to bother with; he shined the light of literacy in Ireland in the midst of the Dark Ages.
Thanks to the monasteries, churches, and schools he founded, Ireland went from being a land of barbarians to the "isle of saints and scholars". If not for him, Western Civilization may very well have lost much of our cherished heritage. This is a must-read Saint Patrick resource.

Catholic Information Network. The "Confessio" of St. Patrick.
This autobiographical confession was written by Patrick himself, in Latin, around the year 450. It offers a unique record of life in the British Isles during those times. Born in Scotland, kidnapped and sold into slavery in Ireland as a teen, escaping probably to northern France, and returning to Ireland as a missionary after a prophetic dream... it's quite amazing that this record has survived!
