Patrick was captured at the age of sixteen and forced into slavery in Ireland.

There he found some sailors who took him back to Britain and was reunited with his family. A few years after returning home, Patrick saw a vision which prompted his studies for the priesthood. He was ordained by St. Germanus, the Bishop of Auxerre, whom he had studied under for years, and was later ordained a bishop and sent to take the Gospel to Ireland.At the time, Ireland was a land of Druids and pagans. Patrick converted the chieftain and preached the Gospel throughout Ireland, converting the pagans to the Christian religion.
