Sunday Procession From Chris McCarthy
Fiesta 2022 Sunday Procession
The beating sun made the whites super white and the children fade, but the procession came off without any obvious hitches! It was so wonderful to see so many people supporting this traditions. How many do you recognize?

Greasy Pole Shrine: Video
If you’ve never taken a few moments to appreciate the St. Peter’s Fiesta Greasy Pole Shrine…or if you live far away and aren’t able, please enjoy this video of the winners and Champions. If viewing on Facebook, be certain to click on the link to view the video. It is a bit long, because I wanted people to be able to enjoy each photo if they can’t see it in person.

Intrepid Saturday Greasy Pole Walkers
The flag was claimed early in the second round so there aren’t too many photos of those who made the attempt prior to Anthony Novello’s walk but here are some of the intrepid walkers on their run in the second round. Lessons in acrobatics, balance, dismount and costumes. Great contest!

Final 4~ Cape Ann United moving on to the semis! #MTOC Massachusetts State Soccer Tournament
Never give up! On June 24 and June 25, two brackets of four teams in this age group battled to make it to the final four on June 26. Cape Ann United needed at least three goals in their second game today, and the other teams had to meet specific spreads if there was a chance to move on. Unbelievably, that’s what happened! The win was so thrilling, the Arlington players they lost to yesterday ran over to congratulate the Cape Ann United players afterwards. Pembroke and Harvard are out. It was such a unique sports win, as much or more exciting than winning three matches straight.
Goal Differential!
“What an amazing end to our group play today! How can you not be a believer of this team when you see them score 3 goals in the last 10 mins against Harvard (who seemed likely the best team in our group) to knock them out and advance to the semis! It is confirmed; We play at 9am tomorrow on field 9. If we’re fortunate enough to win, we’ll play in the finals at 10:50am.”
Coach Gary, Cape Ann United Sea Wolves
Thank you to Coach Gary Schmidt and Jim Sperry, Cape Ann United.
Let’s Go!
Progin Park Fields was 90+ degrees sweltering.
