Catholic Geography Game
| Catholic Geography Game |
 |
The goal of this geography game will be slightly different.
You can give a town with a Catholic or Christian oriented name (like St. Paul, St. Louis, Corpus Christi, Sacramento, etc.)
You can give a town with something Catholic about it - and what it is (example: Fairfield Connecticut - Home of Sacred Heart University; Sioux Falls South Dakota - home of the Diocese of Sioux Falls and St. Joseph's Cathedral)
Like most of our geography games, the LAST letter of the name, becomes the FIRST letter in the next name (So ... if the first was St. Paul Minnesota) California, the next would start with an "L" - like Louisville - home of Our Lady's Rosary Makers - and the next with an "E").
If we get stuck for a day or so, we'll 'restart' with another town.
The towns / places don't have to be in the US and Canada - but anyplace.
First name:
St. Paul (Minnesota USA)

Suggestion: since there are thousands of towns that start with "Saint," why not use the first letter of the saint's name? Example:
Saint Anthony, Idaho to follow Omaha
