St Thomas has come so far in the last number of years--thank God. A true, warmhearted welcome awaits anyone coming through the doors. This was not always the case at St Thomas' but it is now, and I'm deeply grateful.

Very, very well done, as it seems that everything is at St. Thomas. I'm very thankful that our rich traditions are maintained at St. Thomas Church, where so many parishes have "simplified" the liturgy. May God bless the ministries of St. Thomas Church on 5th Avenue in NYC.

My forever house of worship for the past 18 plus years … I lost some years not going to Our house of worship and I must say, I’m happy to find my way back in 2022 to Praise Our Savior each week alongside all. So happy to be back in church 🙏🏾 Praise Be to God !

Yes I have been a member of St. Thomas, I really appreciate the traditional liturgy no attempts to be “ trendy”, but not only is the building beautiful but the clergy is so authentic, and for a big church, they are very accessible this is truly an amazing and welcoming church.

Thank you so much for the 'inside' view Father Turner and staff. The Daily Mass got me thru the pandemic year and continues to be a daily 'habit' for me. I am so appreciative. Thank you so much.

I've visited St. Thomas many, many times over the years even decades since I was a high school student combining a trip to the Donnell Library, St. Patrick's (I'm Roman Catholic), and St. Thomas to listen to your EvenSong or Christmas Carol Services. I'm 70 now and due to the pandemic haven't ventured into Manhattan this last year and half so your KZfaq links have filled the gap. I look forward to visiting in person again soon. I've always felt that St. Patricks and St. Thomas are two jewels in the Spiritual crown of New York City.

I so miss the Evensong services and simply being in the chapel - I'm in a different area now and have found a good church but miss the solemn majesty, the decorum, the innate holiness of the Anglican services - you're looking v. well Fr. Carl, I was there at the time of the mighty triumvirate of priests - Fr. Austin, Fr. Spurlock and Fr. Daniels. Hi Fr. Moretz - I remember the Advent wreath-making session one winter Christmas a few years ago, I donated my wreath to the church, I hope you still have it. Your office and study as is the entire whole of this church is utterly magnificent Fr. Carl - all glory to God Alone. You are v. lucky/blessed and you've got good theatrical/performing instints, lovely video.

What a wonderful tour! I have attended a few times a year for more than 20 years, so I’ve been in some of those rooms, but have never seen them all. It’s a beautiful building, and it’s also nice to meet some of the staff. This is a great idea for newcomers! Thank you. Susan Peterson

Thank you for this tour. I’d love to see a video featuring the Choir School, it’s classrooms and facilities, and perhaps a sample rehearsal with choristers and music director. I’ve had westies, btw. They definitely ‘rule the roost’! (an online participant from California).

Really interesting, I like all things connected to Churches, I made a small videos today in Brentwood Essex, a small chapel called St Thomas Martyr Chapel, the Pilgrims for Thomas Becket would come here to pray, I also went to have a look inside a 12th century Church in Mountnessing Essex, its connected to the crusaders, the 13th century chest fascinated me, the old stoup on the pier has been smashed perhaps in the English reformation perhaps in the civil war if Oliver Cromwell, I love my hobby exploring Churches, my other hobby is to measure every Yew tree in Essex Cemetaries, as you can imagine I have visited many churches, if your interested in looking inside old Churches in Essex please have a look at my amateur videos, if I ever come over to New York I would love to visit St Thomas's over there as well
