Very nice, clean dedication program and souvenir with no names or writing. The booklet was made with a suede-like cover, which after lying around all these years, needed to be vacuumed. So I did just that. This dedication was for the new church which replaced the original from 1914. There are numerous photographs of the church as it was being built and after it was finished. Other items are a history and photos of the congregation, as well as letters and photos of dignities such as Pope Pius XII and various bishops. There's also two lists of events -- the religious and the secular, plus lists... View More...

Here's another Cleveland item which I've never had before! Lately that's been happening quite a bit. Anyway, this one is very clean and nice with just a small bit of toning to edges.

The booklet measures 8"x10" and has 16 pages. Old Stone church is Presbyterian and very lovely, the backdrop for many weddings. Text consists of a formal resolution from both the Ohio Senate and the city of Cleveland commemorating the anniversary, a Hi... View More...

Very stunning church interior with emphasis on the altar area. The church's parish originally belonged to the oldest settlement in the United States. The present church as seen here was the third in the parish and was built in 1728. The town of Hampton suffered a serious fire in which the church burned on August 7, 1861. Fortunately, it was restored in 1868. The card has not been used and is very clean. The corners are light bumped, but overall it's a beauty and will arrive in a brand new plastic sleeve. View More...

Very nice, clean booklet commemorating the dedication of the new Our Lady of Lourdes Church. Only fault is a flat crease to lower front corner of cover.

This is an exceptional keepsake thanks to the many photographs, including some in full color, plus lots of photos of the parishioners in action. There's also history and a roster of the patrons who helped make the new church possible. As always with these momentos, there are ads at the back of ... View More...
