My name is Suzanne and I am one of 3
daughters of Germaine, the actual creator of this Catholic Bingo Game
and
Catholic
Memory Game.
My mother was a very
devout Roman Catholic and everyone who
met her truly believed that her faith was unshakable and solid. She
became the Sunday School Director of St. Michael’s Parish and
taught First Holy Communion every year for many years, and found there
was a need for teaching children catechism while having a fun time. The
bingo game was born with that concept in mind.
It took her many, many
years to come up with questions,
create a protype, and implement it in Sunday School and also sub-parish
meetings. Everyone who played it, loved it, and learned from it. Her
ultimate dream was to create more bingo games and for Catholics
everywhere to enjoy it.
Sadly, she passed away
in 2008 from a tough battle with
cancer. My heart misses her every single day.
While going through the
painful task of cleaning and packing
up the house, we found the bingo game. In her bag marked
“yarn”, there was the prototype, all the questions,
some
books, and her notes and doodles. My sisters said I could have it, and
so I took it and put it in the corner of my room. Where it sat for
months. And then, suddenly, a voice came into my head that it was time
to bring it out, dust it off, and do something with it.
So I have. I have
brought all the questions my mother wrote
out (and some that didn’t make the cut), entered them into an
online format, created bingo cards (hers were original cut up poster
board), and have compiled them online… for you, for your
family,
for your Sunday School class, for your sub-parish…. with all
my
mother’s love.
The two charities being
donated to where very close to my
mother’s heart. The Marian
Helpers and the Retirement
Fund for the Religious. Each
month I will donate to these causes in
her name and labeled that it is from these proceeds that you have
contributed to.
Thank you for taking
the time in reading this. I feel
it’s important to let people know the hard work my mom put
into
this and how much she loved doing this. I only hope that it brings the
happiness to others as it did for her and us all these years and that I
have completed her dream. May She Rest In Peace. God Bless You.
