"Missions Maristes d'Oceanie - Groupe de Soeurs indigenes a Fidji." ("Marist Mission of Oceania - Group of indigenous Sisters at Fiji.") In front of a wooden church, two missionary fathers and a missionary sister pose with over sixty indigenous sisters, most of whom wear dark robes and crosses, the rest of whom wear white. The back of the postcard contains a handwritten note in French and contains printed information from the publisher: "Pour renseignements sur les Religieuses du Tiers Ordre Regulier de Marie s'adresser a: Madame la Superieure des Missions d'Oceanie, 5, chemin du Signal, Sainte-Foy-les-Lyon (Rhone)." ("For information on the Sisters of the Third Regular Order of Mary write to: the Mother Superior of the Missions of Oceania, 5, chemin du Signal, Sainte-Foy-les-Lyon (Rhone).") The postcard was issued by a Catholic missions agency.
