Young church members in robes, Congo, ca.1920-1940

"Congo Français. Nos petits enfants de Chœur à Landana." A missionary father poses with children dressed in robes, possibly acolytes. Two young men hold processional candles and another holds a thurible. The following information is printed on the back of the postcard: "Missions des Pères du St.-Esprit. La Congrégation du St-Esprit vouée au Salut de la race noire évangélise le tiers de l’Afrique, les Antilles et une grande partie de l’Amérique. Elle se consacre aux races et œuvres les plus abandonées." There is no handwriting on the back.
