  1. St Patrick had a sister named Lupita. She was as gentle and as holy as St Patrick himself. They loved each other very dearly. When Patrick and Lupita were very small they were sent to live with a kind aunt and uncle at a small farm near the rock of Dumbarton in Scotland. On this farm they had the loveliest times together. They loved the country very much. St Patrick was sent to School from Dumbarton, and his little Sister had to do without him. She felt very lonely after him.
