It is known that St. Patrick was born in Britain to wealthy parents near the end of the fourth century. At the age of sixteen, Patrick was taken prisoner by a group of Irish raiders who were attacking his family's estate. They transported him to Ireland where he spent six years in captivity. During this time, he worked as a shepherd, outdoors and away from people. Lonely and afraid, he turned to his religion for solace, becoming a devout Christian.

St. Patty's Day as it was so eloquently put was not "discovered"! It was founded by the Catholic church after Patrick was proclaimed a saint. It's a day to feast and celebrate his life.

St. Patrick did when he died. The Roman Catholic church(the main church in Ireland)commemorated 17 March as the feast day of St. Patrick in memorial to the traditional day he died.

Technically, that would be the catholic church since it started out as the feast day of St. Patrick.
