Santa Maria island uses St. Mary. Sao Miguel island uses St. Michael (the
archangel?). Sao Jorge uses St. George (the dragonslayer? Don't know which
St. George).

Other than that, I think it's usually whatever the church is. So my guess
is Capelo uses Santa Ana and Feteira uses the Divino Espirito Santo. Again,
just my guess.
