Each year the Novena Ladies create a new and uniquely beautiful backdrop for the statue of Saint Peter. This year’s backdrop was designed by Jean Linquata, using an old black and white photo of the Blessing of the Fleet.

The beautiful and talented Novena ladies work so hard hosting the nine days of prayers to St. Peter. Their grace and welcoming ways toward all who come make the event a joy to attend. Thank you!

The public celebration of St. Peter’s Fiesta will be cancelled for 2021.

As headlines continue to spread the news of the COVID-19 surges in both the United States and overseas, the St. Peter’s Fiesta Committee had to make the call to cancel this year’s festivities because of the uncertainty and the potential health risk.

But the novena – the nine-day prayer service –will take place virtually again this year thanks to the efforts of the group of women who lead this effort each year. The St. Peter’s Fiesta Committee will make details known as the novena organizers’ effort evolves in the coming weeks.

“We want to keep everyone safe and we don’t want to add to the problem,” said St. Peter’s Fiesta Committee President Joe Novello. “It wasn’t an easy decision but we believe it was the only and right decision. We still have to be patient.”
