X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Did St. Patrick&nbsp\;really&nbsp\;drive t
 he snakes out of&nbsp\;Ireland? Much of what we think we know about St. Pa
 trick is actually mythical\, but the truth is even more interesting. In th
 is talk\, historian Jennifer Paxton will look at the surprising story of t
 he apostle of the Irish\, who endured slavery\, capture by pirates\, and b
 ackstabbing church politics on the way to converting Ireland to Christiani
 ty. St. Patrick speaks to us today as a model for perseverance in the face
  of hardship and persecution. Thanks to Irish immigrants\, who brought the
  story of St. Patrick with them to their new homes\, the whole world can c
 elebrate his example on March 17!</p>\n<p><strong>Join us in Zoom:</strong
