One missionary father and one indigenous man in a white robe are standing in the middle of a large group of men and boys who are sitting on the ground awaiting baptism. The back of the postcard has a handwritten note and contains the caption: "Uganda (Africa)- Catecumeni che attendono la grazia del Battesimo." It also contains information about the Catholic mission agency: "Pontifici Opere Missionarie Direzione Nazionale- Roma- Via di Propaganda N. 1-A" and also: "1st. It. d'Art Grafiche, Bergamo - 1943-XXI".
