Ireland was once known for its faith, now it needs missionaries. St Patrick came to Ireland to share the Gospel. Generations of Irish saints resulted from his missionary efforts. Those saints then become missionaries themselves and evangelised the world. Follow in the footsteps of St Patrick, answer the call to share the Gospel so that a new generation of saints can take their place.
