The Construction of 2015 St. Peter Novena Altar

Print

IMG_7313

Sunday afternoon the St. peters Fiesta Novena Committee gathered at The American Legion Hall to assemble this years altar.

IMG_7308

Construction is truly a team effort from design to assembly. Hat’s off to this amazing crew for their time talent and dedication to St. Peter and our deep rooted Sicilian Heritage! 

IMG_7305

The committee drew inspiration for the theme of this years St. Peter’s Novena Altar from the “St. Peter’s Fiesta, Through The Years” book. Several years ago the Fiesta committee assembled a beautiful display of past Fiesta photos in the once Doyon’s Appliance building, which is now, “The Brew Pub”,  located adjacent to St. Peter’s Square. The committee hopes this years altar brings our community back to the original roots of what fiesta is all about. Faith,Family, and tradition.

A limited supply of “St. Peter’s Fiesta Through The Year’s” books will be on sale for $10.00 at the rosary while supplies last!
