The Quiz for January 7
Since we haven't held class for so long, I an going to give a THREE part quiz. The questions have to do with Catholicism in American history.
1) The earliest known Catholic Mass in what is now the United States was offered in this city. The city itself is named for a convert to Catholicism who later was named a Doctor of the Church. The state is named after the Spanish words for "flowery festival" which is usually used to refer to the Easter season.
2)The Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace was dedicated in 1843 and is the oldest cathedral in continuous use in America. Where is it? Here's a hint - Father Damien was ordained in this cathedral.
3) Catholics were sparse on the ground in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Fifty-six men signed it...and only one was a Catholic. He was from Maryland, of course. This man ended up being the last signer to die, at the age of 95! Who was he?
