Corpus Christi (Day of Thanksgiving for the Eucharist)
God our Father, whose Son our Lord Jesus Christ in a wonderful Sacrament hath left unto us a memorial of his passion: Grant us so to venerate the sacred mysteries of his Body and Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruit of his redemption; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Israel Day Parade is this Sunday, June 2, and the route is along 5th Avenue. Head of Security, Robbie Giannetta, will meet parishioners coming from the east side at Madison Avenue and 53rd and escort them across 53rd. Those coming from the west side will have no problem coming up 53rd Street from 6th Avenue. The Q train is also an ideal way of getting from the upper east side to Church; get off at 57th & 7th Ave. If you stay at the back of the train, you will be close to 55th Street and that part of the station is wheelchair accessible to the sidewalk.
This free tour of the Church begins in the narthex following the 11am Service. If you cannot take the tour at this time, you may take a self-guided tour any day of the week by downloading the pamphlet “A Walking Tour of Saint Thomas Church” which can be found in the resources section of this page.
