This is a game where you leave short groupings of clues describing a saint and the other readers have to guess which saint.

Example:
  1. Stubborn New York goer (Tortured and returned to New York state)
  2. Went swimming after death (body was thrown into the river)
  3. Could only give a high-three, not a high-five (Mohawks gnawed off his forefinger and thumb to try to prevent him from offering Mass)
Answer: St. Isaac Jogues
