Our Western. Christian civilization can never repay the debt we owe to these intrepid spirits who lived so many centuries ago yet whose labors are made manifest every hour of our daily lives. The spirit of St. Patrick was early felt in our own midst. here in a New World of which he and St. Iona and St. Columba never dreamed. The story of Irish immigration to these shores forms one of the most significant chapters of our national history. The earliest American celebration of St. Patricks Day. of which written record has been found. occurred so early as 1737.
