Lentorama 2006 Saint of the Day: St. Patrick

A day early? Nope. Turns out there's another St. Patrick, a former bishop of Malaga who is called "relatively obscure" by the Catholic Online folks. They think he feld to Auvergne, France during a persecution. It's claimed he's still honored in Spain, though there's so much about you-know-who that finding anything online to prove that (outside of Irish pubs in Spain bearing the name) is difficult.

Hard enough to be considered obscure, then to have your day right before the guy who has an entire holday named for him? Ouch. I wonder if "the" St. Patrick uses this one to handle overflow prayers?
