St. Patrick did exist. There are writings of his available. It is known that he came to Ireland in about 432AD as a prisoner, returned home and studied to be a priest and eventually returned to Ireland in 461AD. He is believed to have died in Ireland around 493AD and is buried in Downpatrick, in Co. Down. He is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland, although it is believed that there were other people also preaching Christianity around this time in Ireland.
