Issue Notice:
- The small sheet was issued by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Udon Thani. The issue was made to the students of the Catholic Diocese school. Only a very small part (about 500 pieces) was given to "donate" to dignitaries and supporters of the school. The acquisition was and still is very difficult.
- The small curve above shows the coat of arms of the Diocese of Udon Thani.
- Illustrating an-oil paint by Mr. Remi Mel (in 1960) describing the scene of appointing missionaries in 1659. They were assigned to propagate Christ´s doctrines in Asia and later held the Synod of Ayutthaya (Siam) in 1664. As a result, the Mission of Siam was founded in Ayutthaya and Christianity was later established in Thailand. Alongside is the present St. Joseph´s Catholic Church, the third edifice, built on the site where Christianity started in Thailand
