The beautiful new Saint Peter statue was unveiled at Friday night’s Fiesta opening celebration. Sara Favazza, daughter and tenth child of Captain Salvatore Favazza and Maria Lucido Favazza, did the honors. Salvatore Favazza commissioned the original Saint Peter’s statue in 1926 and in 1927, Gloucester celebrated its first Saint Peter’s Fiesta.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Great shot Kim. Love the story, too. I wonder where the original is going to go. What do you do with two statues. Maybe it’ll go to Cape Ann Museum like the original statue from Our Lady of Good Voyage. Ps it was wonderful talking with you throughout the evening.
