--Sacred Heart (Valley Park, MO)
--Our Lady of Consolation (Phila)
--Immaculate Heart of Mary (St. Louis)
--Incarnate Word Hospital (St. Louis...though the name of it changed about 4 years ago)

I think my mom was baptized at Immaculate Conception in St. Louis.

Semi-OT, but there is a suburb of St. Louis near the Airport called St. Ann. Now that's nothing major there, but a majority of the streets are named after saints. I used to know a girl that lived on St. Joachim Street.

Florissant, one of the larger suburbs of St. Louis, has saint street names in the older part of the city. What's more, the side streets are named French-style (Rue St. Denis, Rue St. Jean).

(And that's pronounced JEEN, not ZHAWN. Much like St. Francois County near St. Louis is pronounced FRAN-ses, not fran-SWA.)
