Celebrating the Feast of the Holy Spirit
Tag: Our Lady of Good Voyage Church
American Legion Post 3 and Our Lady of Good Voyage #GloucesterMA should be fixed up for the 400+ Anniversary
Both buildings require immediate facade care. Preservation goals have been outlined for the Legion that will be necessary, too.
They’re heritage landmarks of cultural significance then and now.
Captain Lester S. Wass Post 3 of the American Legion is located at 8 Washington Street, Gloucester, MA.
Our Lady of Good Voyage is located at 142 Prospect Street, Gloucester, MA.
Private-public partnership projects for incremental studies, phases, projects and initiatives greenlit in Gloucester have been awarded funding support with big price tags: $400,000, 1 million, 4-5 million, 29 million, 56 -90+ million, and incentives. Perhaps **new** endeavors could include care of irreplaceable cultural mainstays as part of their ventures.

LEADEN DECEMBER SKIES :)
How fortunate we are to be experiencing a delightfully warm El Nino December although many regions in the rest of the country are not faring as well as we in the Northeast. Thinking about where we were almost to the date a year ago at this time…see the end of this post.

BREAKING NEWS: FIRST LOOK @USCGNortheast CUTTER KEY LARGO ARRIVES GLOUCESTER!
Under the command of Captain LT Nolan Cuevas, Gloucester’s USCG new Cutter, the Key Largo, powered through the harbor before docking at the Jodrey State Fish Pier.
Executive Officer Brandon McCampbell reports that the crew of the Key Largo is the same as the crew that operated the Grand Isle. Approximately 32 days ago, they picked up the Key Largo in San Juan, then onto Miami, then to Charleston, before arriving in Gloucester. 
Interestingly, I asked Executive Officer McCampbell what the symbols mean that are painted above the Key Largo sign, each with a red X. The seven snowflakes represent seven cocaine seizures and the plant, marijuana seizures.

Gloucester Harbor Exquisite Sunrise
Yesterday morning’s exquisite sunrise from Pirate’s Lane.
F/V Freemantle Doctor Heading Out
The sun’s light at daybreak coming up over the harbor after the snowstorm lent a golden glow to all. I find our neighborhood–the people, the architecture, the boats, the sweet little robins–to be a never ending source of inspiration. See panoramic view of Smith’s Cove sunrise, posted yesterday.

Crowning of the Imperitor, Gloucester, circa 1950 Anonymous/©Fredrik D. Bodin
Since 1902, Gloucester’s Catholic community gives thanks to God by celebrating the Crowning of the Imperitor. Proceeding down Prospect Street, Our Lady of Good Voyage Church is just out of the frame on the left. The girls I’ve been able to identify are, from left to right: Sandy Saville; Judy Sears Cote (whose mother made the dresses); Sandra Lawler Olsen; and Loraine Mitchell. Mary Dahlmer Mesquite is on the porch. If you recognize any of the other girls, please let me know.
