A joy to film and photograph our beautiful community. Viva San Pietro!

Buona Festa! – A Most Joyous St. Peter’s Fiesta Opening Night

Viva San Pitero!

Beginning at St. Peter’s Club, the Procession winds up and around the Legion Hall, ending at St. Peter’s Square.  The effigy is is placed oh so gently on the stage where it will stay until Sunday morning’s procession through the City.

All Are Welcome to the Beautiful Saint Peter’s Fiesta Novena

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. Viva San Pietro.Left to right: Grace Cusumano, Nina Groppo, Anne Sanfillippo, Joanne Auello, Jean Linquata, Caryn Ryder, Faye Quinlan

The 2025 St. Peter’s Fiesta Novena continues every night through Tuesday. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday the Novena begins at 7:00pm. Tuesday is the very special conclusion. The Novena begins at 6:30, followed by the Mass, followed by the Saint Peter procession to Beach Court.


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