Come one, come all! 

With love and gratitude to the Novena Ladies who each year tirelessly organize the Novena, decorate the Legion Hall and altar in a unique and beautiful way, lead the attendees in prayer and song, and nightly serve refreshments.

Crazy Hat Lady sisters Robyn and Amy, sans hats. I wonder what wonderfully imaginative designs they will add to the hats this year!

JOYFUL HEARTFELT NOVENA TO SAINT PETER, WITH A GIFT FROM EAST GLOUCESTER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Tonight marks the last night of the beautiful Novena to Saint Peter, held annually at the Captain Lester S. Wass American Legion Post. Doors open at 6pm, the Novena begins at 6:30, followed by Mass at 7:00pm.

With thanks and gratitude to the Novena Committee: Jeanne Linquata, Grace Cusamano, Caryn Ryder, Ann Sanfilippo, Joanne Aiello, Faye Quinlan, and Nina Groppo.

The wonderfully iridescent fishes are cut from paper kindergarten teacher Ann had in her art closet at East Gloucester Elementary School. All the ladies cut out the fishes and I think it’s one of the sweetest mementos to remember our beloved school by.

The Captain Lester S. Wass American Legion Post is located at 8 Washington Street, Gloucester
