    explain about the three "Divine Persons" in God with the shamrock.
    "Look upon this little plant he said," It has three leaves yet it is one shamrock." Even so in the loftier way there are "Three Persons in one God and yet but one God.
    After Saint Patrick left Skerries he went to the North to a town called Saul. Saint Patrick when he died was buried in a protestant graveyard at Downpatrick.
    His grave is very nice there is on top of it is a big cross of marble with a bunch of flowers. Skerries Church is called after Saint Patrick's Brass and Reed Band will parade through Skerries on St. Patrick's Day 17th March.
