Poem

The Saint and Hope

Among cliffs, shamrocks and light, the memory of Saint Patrick becomes a song of faith and hope.

Read the poem

Upon the cliffs, the ocean roars, Saint Patrick brought the God we adore. With faith so pure, shining and bright, Ireland found her peace and light.

With the shamrock, symbol of the Three, Saint Patrick spread the truth so free. He drove away the snakes of fear, Faith grew strong, the land held dear.

From mountains high to valleys wide, The people sang, their hearts in pride. Saint Patrick, guide of soul and grace, Bringing hope to every place.

On the day that Patrick flew away, The world remembers him, in joyful sway. The green shines bright, the beer flows free, His light still shines in you and me.
