Description
“Les Franciscaines Missionnaires de Marie en Mission. ̶ Chantong (Chine). L’arrivée des missionnaires dans un village.” A missionary sister is greeted upon her arrival at a village. People stand in the street near a horse drawn cart and watch. Several buildings are seen in the background. The following information is printed on the back of the postcard: “Les Franciscaines Missionnaires de Marie ont actuellement en pays de Mission 145 maisons avec 156 écoles, plus 389 œuvres pour l’enfance groupant 56. 000 enfants. Elles ont en outre pour les maladies 47 hôpitaux, avec 71. 000 malades hospitalizes dans l’année, 7 léproseries avec 1. 507 lépreux, 7 lazarets avec 1. 873 contagieux et 107 dispensaires où 2. 100 000 soins ont été donnés en 1926.
