St. Patrick of Malaga
Patrick of Auvergne
Feast day: March 16
Bishop of Malaga, Spain. His life is relatively obscure, but it is believed that he fled to Auvergne, France, during a persecution, where he died. He is still honored in Spain.
Saint Patrick is registered in the Roman Martyrology as bishop of Auvergne, but his name is not to be found in the lists of the sees of Auvergne. Quite probably the copyists wrote Arvernia for Hibernia, i.e., Ireland, and thus duplicated the apostle of that country who is celebrated on March 17. At Malaga, Spain, a feast is kept on March 16 for Saint Patrick, a native and bishop of that city, who, according to the local tradition, fled to Auvergne, and died there . 307
