About this postcard

A bronze statue of the Jesuit missionary Father Isaac Jogues stands with one arm raised in blessing before an arched stone niche, set among trees; the pedestal bears the Jesuit motto "Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam." Isaac Jogues was a 17th-century French Jesuit who worked among the Huron and Iroquois and was killed by Mohawks in 1646; he was canonized in 1930 as one of the North American Martyrs, and monuments to him were erected in the region around Lake George and Auriesville, New York.
