The smaller sign mounted on the church simply states:
"Immaculate Conception Parish
"(Old St. Mary's)
"Established 1804
"Second Oldest Parish
"Established in the Archdioces of Boston
"Gift of K. of C. 4th Degree
"Fr. Druillette General Assembly 1904"
There is another sign that provides even more tidbits, but I'll let someone else relate those.
This church is also listed as a benchmark, MY5088.

But a photo of you standing next to the marker or a photograph the subject of the marker - those are examples of possible photographs to upload.
