Volume 16 – Number 49 – Christmas 1944.
The cover features a green-toned religious Christmas image of the Madonna and Child. This issue dates from the closing period of World War II and provides an interesting snapshot of a Far Rockaway parish community during 1944.
The reverse contains an extensive Parish Register, including numerous names and dates under:
- Baptisms
