Sculptured by the Russian artist Carl Wilhelms in 1951 this superb art work takes its theme from the Biblical account in Luke 5:1-11. It describes St Peter (Simon Peter) telling Jesus that they had worked all night and caught no fish. At Jesus's exhortation Peter dropped the nets again. Immediately they were filled with multitudes of fish, to breaking point. This is marvellously conveyed in the sculpture, which is on the building facade.
