Saint Patrick and the New Evangelization

“On St. Patrick"’s Day, everyone is Irish. The celebration is an example of the presence of a Christian memory in the West. However, as we tumble toward the abyss in what many call a post-Christian culture, the real heritage of the Apostle to Ireland might be lost if we do not stop and examine his message and mission.”

In a recent commentary, Deacon Keith Fournier reflected on the example of Saint Patrick for us in this age as we carry out the New Evangelization called for by Blessed Pope John Paul II.
