For yours truly, one of the most amusing things about giving cities, hospitals, and schools a Catholic patronage are the anthropomorphic images that are conjured in my mind whenever these institutions make the news. I like to picture in my head that the saint, rather than the institution, is the party committing the particular act. As such, I plan to begin a new regular feature on this blog, highlighting some of the headlines I come across that are of particular amusement to me. For this installment, we have quite the glut of "saint news" fodder:
