Ah that could be. I lived in the West so there weren't big ethnic
groups, in or out of the Church. Unless you count Mormons...

Yes, like the Irish with St. Patrick, the Poles (and Italians) in Chicago and
up in WI claimed St. Joe, BIG-time, on March 19. In Chicago, all the Poles and
Italians wore RED on St. Joes Day...
funny that I still remember all this, it's a LONG time ago that the Church left
me and I later left it....
:D

I was born and raised a Roman Catholic, and never heard of this superstition
(and my Mom was from an Irish background and was *very* superstitious) until
I moved into this house 3 1/2 years ago and the neighbour (a Dutch Roman
Catholic) was trying to sell her house... she mentioned it to me then. She
also said something about painting her door yellow to boost the sale of her
house. Nothing to do with the statue, but a completely different
superstition. Personally I find it disrespectful to bury a statue of any
saint.
By the way... although you may not have meant it as such, I also find it
disrespectful to call St Joseph "St Joe" just as I do not like to hear some
people call St Anthony "St Tony". Unless you lived back when they did and
knew them personally (which I highly doubt that anyone shortened names back
then anyway), I don't think it is very nice to abbreviate someone's (most
especially a saint's) name to make him/her sound like they are your buddy.
Just my opinion!

Gem,
Sorry, didn't mean to offend, but gotta tell ya, our church,the one I grew up
in, honest to god, was St' Joe's. NOT St. Joesph's. St. JOE'S.

AND, maybe it was a Chicago thing, but the church my Dad grew up in was not St.
Patrick's, but St. Paddy's, honest to god, AND the church my uncle Lefty grew
up in was St. Aggie's NOT St. Agnes's!
Just my two cents,
Noreen
Oh, mom says her church, St. Stanislas Kostka, had the official *letterhead of
St. Stash's*, and that one was in northern Wisc.
