The mountain shares its name with a school in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Originally named "Como Hill", it was renamed Mount Alvernia after La Verna, the hill in Tuscany where St. Francis of Assisi received the Wounds of the Cross.[2] The mountain was given its name by a Catholic priest, Monsignor John Hawes, also known as Fra Jerome, who built a hermitage there. Hawes was an Englishman who spent the last 17 years of his life in the Bahamas. He was a qualified architect before entering the church, and did a great deal of architectural work for the church throughout the Bahamas.{{clear|left}} References1. ^1 2 "Mount Avernia" on Peakbagger Retrieved 24 September 2011 2. ^"The Hermitage on Mount Alvernia" Retrieved 24 September 2011
