Excerpt from In the Times of St. Patrick
It was a town in Strath Clyde, and almost cer tainly identical with the modern Dumbarton. That it was a Roman town and of some import ance, we gather from the fact that it had a 0 municipal council, Patrick'sfather, C'alpurnius, having been a town councillor. Born before clerical celibacy had become the fashion, Patrick came of a clerical stock, his father, al though a town councillor, having been a deacon, and his grandfather a p-resbyter, whilst his mother is alleged to have been sister to a bishop. How or when Christianity had reached that part of the world is not known; but from the prevailing type of it found there, high authorities hold that it was introduced by Christian soldiers from Gaul in. The Roman army of occupation. On his father's farm of sixteen acres it is believed that Patrick lived' till he was sixteen. He had got a religious training both from his parents and Christian pastors, but tells us frankly that he knew not the true God, and also acknowledges that.
