St. Patrick - March 17
The popular patron saint of Ireland is celebrated halfway through Lent. Patrick, meaning "noble" was taken from his family in Britain and brought to Ireland as a slave, where he turned to God. Although he did manage to escape home, he returned later to Ireland as a missionary. It would be an honor for any boy to bear the name of this saint dubbed the "Apostle of Ireland."
