Saint Peter Fisher, like his brother Andrew, Peter resided in Capernaum and was married. He was present at Kana's wedding and followed Christ along with the rest of his disciples. Peter is attributed the exhortation to the rest of the Apostles to choose the replacement of Judah, after Jesus ’ Ascension.

His tomb is located under the central altar of St Peter's Cathedral in the Vatican.
