Maisha
Kati ya maandishi yake, zimetufikia barua mbili, ambamo tunapata habari za kuaminika juu yake, tofauti na nyingine nyingi ambazo zinatia shaka. 

Alipokuwa na umri wa miaka 16 hivi huko Wales, alitekwa na maharamia kutoka Ireland na kufanywa mtumwa kisiwani huko.

Baada ya miaka 6 alifaulu kukimbia na kurudi kwenye familia yake.

Lakini akajisikia wito wa kuinjilisha wakazi wa kisiwa hicho, hivyo baada ya kujiandaa katika monasteri ya Ufaransa akarudi huko kama askofu akafanya kazi hasa kaskazini na magharibi akitangaza kwa bidii Injili kwa wote na kuongoza kwa nguvu Kanisa lake.All About Saint Patrick's Day Church Year Retrieved 2011-02-20https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/26400

Sala yake
Kristo uwe nami, Kristo uwe ndani mwangu,

Kristo nyuma yangu, Kristo mbele yangu,

Kristo karibu nami, Kristo ili unitawale,

Kristo, ili unifariji na kunifundisha,

Kristo pamoja nami, Kristo juu yangu,

Kristo katika amani, Kristo katika hatari,

Kristo moyoni mwa wote wanaonipenda,

Kristo mdomoni mwa rafiki na mgeni.
