Catechists with horse and wagon
Four Catechists catch a ride in the back of the wagon with this family as they head to their next destination. This is just one of the methods utilized by the Catechists. This family may have been a neighbor or someone heading in their direction. It was not uncommon for the Catechists to obtain transportation from someone who was not Catholic. Comfort was not something that they enjoyed in the rural missions in the early days.
