Patrick, then known as Maewyn Succat, was born and raised in Scotland (some say Wales) but was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. Six years later he escaped and eventually return home to Scotland. He went to Europe, probably France and Italy, where he studied for the priesthood. After ordination and elevation to a bishop, he returned to Ireland as a missionary under orders of Pope Celestine I. He spent the rest of his life in Ireland.
