According to History.com, St. Patrick was actually born in Britain. At the age of 16, he was captured by Irish raiders and transported across the sea to Ireland. After spending six years in captivity, Patrick escaped, traveled back to Britain, and trained to become a priest.
Once his training was complete, he returned to Ireland "to minister to Christians already living in Ireland and to begin to convert the Irish."
