Can't say I ever heard anyone use the phrase "St. Paddy".... even on Paddy's Day. But I do remember a Paddy's Day interview on RTE (the Irish government radio-television network) that went something like this:

ANNCR: So what makes Paddy's Day special for you?

LITTLE KID: On Paddy's Day we celebrate the life of Saint Patrick.

ANNCR: And what do you know about Saint Patrick?

LITTLE KID: Well... (long pause, thinking hard) ...he had a big snake and his last name was Guinness...
