Description: "ONONGHE - Fete a l'occasion de la Benediction d'une nouvelle Eglise." ("ONONGE - Celebration at the time of the Blessing of a new Church") Over one hundred indigenous men stand on either side of a path leading up to a church building. In front of the church, an even larger crowd of men, women, and children awaits.
The back of the postcard is blank and contains printed information about the publisher: "Missionnaires du Sacre-Coeur d'Issoudun. -- PAPOUASIE - NOUVELLE-GUINEE (Oceanie)." ("Missionaries of the Sacred Heart of Issoudun. -- NEW GUINEA - NEW GUINEA (Oceania).") The missionaries of the Sacred Heart were a Catholic order.
