He is a Patron Saint. Can anyone tell me what that means? What might he be a Patron Saint of?

He is reputed to have performed several miracles. Does anyone have information on this?

Below is an example of what I know about him, but I need answers to the questions above.

St. Kieran
Feastday: September 9



St. Kieran was born in Connacht, Ireland. He was the son of Beoit, a carpenter. He studied at St. Finnian's school at Clonard and taught the daughter of the king of Cuala, as he was considered the most learned monk at Clonard. Kieran spent seven years at Inishmore on Aran with St. Enda and then went to a monastery in the center of Ireland called Isel. Forced to leave by the monks because of what they considered his excessive charity, he spent some time on Inis Aingin (Hare Island) and with eight companions, migrated to a spot on the bank of the Shannon river in Offaly, where he built a monastery that became the famous Clonmacnois, reknowned for centuries as the great center of Irish learning, and was its Abbot. Many extravagant miracles and tales are told of Kieran, who is one of the twelve apostles of Ireland. He is often called St. Kieran the Younger to distinguish him from St. Kieran of Saighir. His feast day is September 9.

Like with the Cubs and Padres yesterday, it was funny that neither one of them landed a hit, and yet after the initial swings were made both of them ran and hid behind their managers. Just curious if they're not trying to gain watchers with some staged antics. Let me know what you think.

Do you realise how much of "gods green earth" you destroy every year at christmas time? with wrapping and cards and stuff, also how many hungry people could you feed with the excess food you throw away? these questions don't apply to all but they do to most.

After being with her all evening, the man couldn't take another minute with his blind date. Earlier, he had secretly arranged to have a friend call him to the phone so he would have an excuse to leave if something like this happened.

When he returned to the table, he lowered his eyes, put on a grim expression and said, "I have some bad news. My grandfather just died."

"Thank heavens," his date replied. "If yours hadn't, mine would have had to!"

My Inspiron 700m is a little over two years old, and now the monitor is flickering with huge bands of color, sometimes the color bands stay unless I press on the monitor. In some positions the whole monitor is white-washed, so I can barely see anything. Is my computer dying? Is there anything I can do to fix this, or is it time to buy a new notebook? Thanks.

I'm not sure if it has helped me, or not. It probably has. I am a little more likely to accept some people more as legitimate human beings, and less likely to write them off, without any consideration.
It's some fascinating stuff.

Solve for x using the quadratic formula. Remember that each equation must be in standard form before you take a, b, and c.
Can anyone help me solve these? But you don't have to if you don't want the points.

1: -10x2 + 11x + 24 = 20

2: -5x2 - 8x + 1 = 0

3. 6x2 - x - 5 = 0

4. -15x2 - 10x + 40 = 0

5. 3x2 + 4 = -7x
