I would add that Canadian usage is trending toward St-Mary (with a hyphen) in response to developing a common usage for French and English.
It is? I don't think I've ever seen that used in English, except for (perhaps) Quebec. I would think it's FAR too early to notice a trend there.
Perhaps in official circles, but I certainly haven't seen it in general usage (except, as I say, perhaps in Quebec, where there is a much greater tendancy to borrow from French).
