Saint Francis Xavier
I have read that the church called St. Francis Xavier in Hyannis was once called St. Patrick. The name was changed in 1903 so as not to seem so oppressively Irish. Still, I have never met anyone, at least in this country, whose middle initials were F.X. without Irish blood.
The real F.X. was born in Spain, educated in Paris, and was a founding member of the Society of Jesus Christ, better known as the Jesuits. He was a missionary in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and finally Japan. Depending on your perspective he is either the Apostle to the East or an agent of Portugese imperialism. You may want to seek opinions from the Brazilians streaming out of the 7:00 P.M. mass.
You will find the image of F.X. behind a barn, under a piece of slate, about half-way between the front doors of the church dedicated to him and the business entance of the only place on Cape Cod where one can order Boti Kebab Masala.
