A particularly interesting part of this lot is the separate folded commemorative pamphlet featuring Rev. Francis C. Roy, S.J., which is stapled to the booklet.It features a printed portrait of Rev. Roy and a printed message expressing his gratitude for contributions made to the Immaculate on the occasion of his seventy-fifth anniversary. The folded pamphlet also includes an alphabetical list of names relating to the contributions and specifically refers to agenerous $100 contribution that became the inspiration for the renovation of the Immaculate. The reverse contains a handwritten Christmas/New Year greeting dated1936, adding an especially interesting personal historical element.

Because of the stapling, I did not attempt to remove, separate, or fully unfold the pamphlet, soits contents could not be viewed in their entirety.Due to the limitations of viewing the information in its entirety, there may be some missing or possibly inaccurate information related to the contents of the folded pamphlet.
