Life
Saint Patrick of Auvergne is remembered by Orthodox England as a man born at Málaga in Spain who was bishop there and then fled to Auvergne in France around the year 307. Wikipedia, however, notes that some martyrologies mention a Patrick, bishop of Avernia, but no such saint is known there; a copyist is believed to have written Avernia for Hibernia, so that the reference would in fact be to Saint Patrick of Ireland. His identity therefore remains uncertain. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 6 March (new calendar).
