Description

Worn red book with a decorative gold cross on its cover.

Context

Altar copy of mass book used at St. Joseph's parish. Roman numeral date corresponds to 1921, but there is also text dated 1920, and the mass calendar starts in 1919. Virginia Pozza said this was the altar copy of the Roman missal (written in Latin) for St. Joseph's Church. She believes that it came into Lucy Pozza's hands from John Mollar, who was organist for St. Joseph before Lucy was the organist.
