Br. John Henry Peters, O.P., on the Real St. Patrick

"What the world celebrates as 'St. Patrick’s Day' - a day for parties, drinking, and wearing a specific color of clothing - is almost a counterfeit of the real Feast of Saint Patrick. Patrick has been celebrated for centuries, but today, in many ways, we simply enjoy the feast and forget the man. Therefore, let us take a moment to recall the real Saint Patrick so that we can more faithfully celebrate St. Patrick's Day."

In a recent commentary, Brother John Henry Peters, O.P., reflected on the life of Saint Patrick as a "witness to the workings of God's providence through trouble and trial."
