What's in a name, Catholic edition
File this under "Catholic humor." This might turn into a Sycamore and Griff thread, but I'm sure many non-Catholics will be familiar with what I'm talking about, and will hopefully join in.
Many Catholic churches/parishes and schools are named after the saints of the church, the Virgin Mary, or "events" that are important to the religion. Some of these are standard fare, like St. Martha's Church in NE Philadelphia. (No clue who St. Martha was, but she was obviously important enough to be canonized.) Others are more unusual, or even funny. So, the whole concept of this thread is...post the more unusual ones. My own submissions (and the places where I've seen them): --Resurrection of Our Lord (my grade school alma mater in St. Louis) --Transfiguration (St. Louis) --North American Martyrs (St. Louis) --Our Lady of Ransom (Phila) --Mary, Queen of the Universe (St. Louis) --Queen of All Saints (St. Louis) --Holy Rosary (St. Louis) --St. James the Greater (as opposed to St. James the Lesser...St. Louis) --Annunziata (St. Louis) --St. Dismas (one of the thieves crucified with Jesus...St. Louis) --Cure of Ars (St. Louis) --Our Lady of the Snows Shrine (Belleville, IL) --Our Lady of the River Shrine (Portage des Sioux, MO) |
