St. Brigid is closely associated with St. Patrick. It is said that she was baptized by Patrick and developed a close friendship with him. As a young girl, Brigid felt called to be a nun. At this time, women who took vows of chastity remained at home with their families. Brigid knew about Patrick’s monasteries, however, and decided to begin a community of her own where people pursuing a religious life could live together. In Kildare, Brigid began a monastery that was soon opened to both men and women. Like Patrick, those associated with the monastery helped to spread Christianity throughout all of Ireland.
—ND Vision, University of Notre Dame Ireland, ca. 450-525 and 389-461.
