Saint Patrick was a man (or saint) who was taken from his native home in Wales by Irish (Celtic) raiders. After six years he was able to escape and went back home to his family.

There is no direct connection between St. Patrick and the Church, but he became the Patron Saint of Ireland.

in other stories though, it is said that he received a vision from God, and was shown how to escape from Ireland. It's also said, that he drove out snakes from Ireland.

Either legends always say, that he is indeed, the patron saint of Ireland.
