Hawaii Catholic Harold’s Quiz

Dear quiz masters,

I think I have come up with some questions that will challenge you this time around. We cover popes, bishops, saints, clerical fashion, and even some local facts. See how you do. They are not too hard and perhaps you’ll even learn a thing or two. I’m even contemplating offering prizes for future quizzes, that is if my editor agrees. We’ll see.

Aloha, H.C. Harold
