St. Lorenzo in Damaso; St. Cecilia; St. Athanasius; St. Philip Neri; St.

Catherine, St. Dominico, and a multitude of lesser saints whose names are

not familiar in the world--and away down, clear out of the list of the

churches, comes a couple of hospitals: one of them is named for the

Saviour and the other for the Holy Ghost!
