This may not be the right place, but I can't find another newsgroup which 
might be informed on such things; apologies in advance.

Discussion at work, which we can't reconcile.  I came up with 5 names of 
arch-angels (Michael, Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, and Lucifer), but we 
couldn't figure out if Michael was the one in all the "St. Mike's" 
churches around here.  None of the lapsed/retired Catholics could recall 
their catechism if there was some St. Michael is some dim time in the 
past.  Martyr or not, can anybody help with info?  Do we call an angel St.?
