Diocesan Missionary Fathers, 316 East Marshall Street, Richmond, Va.

Card Text (transcribed from postcard): 'Saint Mary of the Highways' I & II are names of two trailer chapels operated by the Catholic Diocese of Richmond. Designed by George f. Chaplain, one was built in 1938 and the second in 1948. They were dedicated by Bishop Ireton. Purchased by the donations of the people at the cost of $10,000 each, they contain church equipment, public address system and living accommodations for two priests. During the summer, programs of Scripture, music, prayer, question answering, sermons, movies and literature are presented daily. You are invited to visit the Chapel on the road, or at our home in Richmond.
