Covid-19 Policy


From the Vestry of Saint Thomas Church

In observance of recommendations from the CDC and New York City guidelines, to enter Saint Thomas Church and the Choir School, all worshippers, concert-goers, and visitors aged 12 years and older will be required to wear masks and provide valid proof of full vaccination. (Children under 12 must wear masks). Presentation of approved documentation is required upon arrival at each service, event, or meeting.

Keeping Children safe is always a priority of Saint Thomas Church, and we hope that you will understand the reason for this decision which will last only while there is a pandemic, or until such time as official health guidance changes.

Proof of vaccination may include:

  • NYC COVID Safe App
  • Excelsior Pass
  • CDC Vaccination Card (or photo of card)
  • NYC Vaccination Record
  • An official immunization record from outside New York State or the U.S.

You may be asked to present a valid form of ID if you do not have the NYC COVID Safe App or Excelsior Pass. This can be Driver’s license, Government ID card, IDNYC card, Passport, or School ID card.

Please note:

If you received the vaccine outside the U.S., you must have an official immunization record that includes:

  • First name and last name
  • Date of birth
  • Vaccine product name (only vaccines authorized by the FDA or WHO are acceptable)
  • Date(s) administered
  • Site where the vaccine was administered, or name of the person who administered it
