Dedicated in the 150th Anniversary Year of St Peter’s Prep, this sculpture depicts a young St Peter aboard the bow of a boat. The statue was washed using non-ionic detergent.  Surface corrosion was minimized using Biox and soft brass and nylon brushes.  Two applications of conservator’s hot wax treatment were administered, cooled and buffed.

Brian Hanlon was quoted as saying to the effect: he designed the piece to represent a young, ambitious student standing at the threshold of a great, unwritten future.

Saint Peter's Preparatory School is an independent, preparatory, and all-male day school located in Jersey City, New Jersey, within the Archdiocese of Newark. Founded in 1872 by the Jesuits, it is operated as part of the Jesuit East Province.
