Saint Contrina

You know your kid goes to a Catholic school when they are writing a report on a Southeast U.S. state and when the following conversation takes place and the kid has selective hearing…

Me:  Blah, blah, blah, vampires, blah, blah, blah, snakes, blah, blah, blah, Hurricane Katrina, blah, blah, blah, pelican, blah, blah, blah, New Orleans, blah, blah, blah, voodoo, blah, blah, blah, Duck Dynasty, blah, blah, blah…..

And then when you help edit the report she has written…

“Saint Contrina hit Louisiana.”

There is not a St. Contrina or Katrina, but there is a St. Katharine Drexel, which I think is pretty close to the same name. 

Interestingly enough, Saint Katharine founded Xavier University in New, Orleans in 1915.
