**St. Ginger Vitus:** Sister of the famous St. Vitus, she is the patron saint of gum disease **St. Ripes** : Patron of Army NCOs **San Itary** : Spanish saint who is the patron of cleanliness and healthfulness **St. Rune** : Patron of scattered messes **St. Rawman** : Patron of false argumentation And to inject a serious note, I hope you all are aware that the Cause (petition to canonize) for Mychal Judge, the gay Franciscan friar and F.D.N.Y. chaplain who was killed on 9.11.01 is actually progressing through the Congregation for Saints. Little progress in five years, though. (My wife and I were present at what we think was the \*first \*service anywhere which commemorated him as a saint, a private Franciscan celebration at Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh.) ---
