Saint Patrick was quite successful at winning converts in Ireland.
And this fact upset the Celtic Druids who dominated the region.
Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time. In a
spiritual power encounter at Tara, he defeated the druid high
priests. This started the conversion of all Ireland. His
Celtic-model church finished the job.
Today, our culture is becoming occult and druid once again, because we Christians of today have forgotten
our early Christian roots.
Saint Patrick preached the gospel, healed the sick and cast out devils,
just like Jesus of Nazareth and all the apostles did. We are called
by Jesus to preach the gospel with signs and wonders following, just like
we did in the early centuries when we turned the world upside down.
