Smiles, moments of reflection and an occasional hearty laugh, are the reactions of the Italian-American community of Los Angeles while watching the documentary film, “Processions of Faith: The Story of Saint Peter’s Italian Catholic Church, its Parishioners and their Saints”. Produced by Justine Mestichelli’s Midair Rose Production and masterfully directed by her husband, Joe Medeiros, upon commission from the Barbera Foundation, the film traces the beginning efforts of the Italian community as a way to bring about a meeting point and to give continuity to their traditions, especially religious ones.
St. Peter's Italian Catholic Church was built in 1904 and from then on, came to be a meeting point and home to the Italians of Los Angeles. Today, the church, which stands like a true cathedral in the desert, along with the Casa Italiana cultural center, are all that remain of the Italian district, engulfed over the years by Chinatown.
