In the town in NJ where I grew there is a church, St. Cecilia’s Church. My (late) parents were married there in 1951. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of artists of musicians.

Yes, she is.
And I've seen statues of her with some kind of stringed instrument...maybe a lyre. I don't think she ever played any instrument but she is the patron saint of art and music.

The town I grew up in is Kearny, NJ. It was named after it’s most famous local son, Union General Phil Kearny. I don’t know if you ever watched “The Sopranos’’. I never watched more then a few minutes of a couple of episodes. It was filmed in Kearny. In a number of the scenes where ‘’the gang’’ is hanging out at their club that’s filmed on the main street, Kearny Ave. Right up the block in many scenes is a church. That’s St. Cecilia’s Church. That’s the church my parents were married in.
