Basilica-opoly Board Game Mixes Faith, History and Real Estate in a Divinely Inspired Twist on the Classic Monolopy Game
Faith. History. Real Estate. What do those words have in common? Basilica-opoly! This game is a divinely inspired twist on the classic real estate board game, Monopoly. Basilica-opoly features several historic Saint Mary properties, both past and present, in commemoration of our 230th anniversary. Will you own the historic Swann-Daingerfield House, once home to Saint Mary’s Academy, a private Catholic preparatory school for young ladies? Or perhaps claim the Ombrellino, the iconic umbrella displayed at basilicas worldwide, proudly placed beside the main altar? Build your portfolio with the Atrium, where Basilica School children engage in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, or the Sacristy, used by priests of the parish, deepening your connection to Alexandria’s rich Catholic heritage. Play Basilica-opoly and bring Alexandria’s vibrant Catholic history home! This game, for 2-6 players, is fun for all ages and all levels of devotion. The game is on sale for $35 for parish families. Click here to pay. The games are available to be picked up at the parish office, 313 Duke Street, starting on Sept. 2, 2025. Order yours today as supplies are limited.
