unused, bought in Braga (Portugal)
I've found this postcard in a book fair. A religious book stand was also selling some religious postcards.
"In 1914 the Most Reverend Matthew Harkins, Bishop of Providence, realized the great need for a Portuguese-speaking parish in the Town of East Providence. The Bishop appointed Fr. Joseph Lopes, an assistant pastor in Our Lady of the Rosary Church, to conduct a census in order to determine the number of parishioners that would form the nucleus of the new parish, Saint Francis Xavier Church. In November of that year, a committee was formed to start fund-raising and build a new Church." In: Saint Francis Xavier Church
