The Pilgrims’ Course, our annual educational and fellowship series, explores the Christian Faith as the Episcopal Church has received it, and as Saint Thomas expresses it through its mission to worship, love, and serve our Lord Jesus Christ through the Anglican Tradition and our unique choral heritage. Classes are open to all and, each year, a number of parishioners attend to refresh their faith and support those who are new to the faith or to our community.
Classes are held on most Wednesdays from mid-January to May (with a break for Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, and Easter Week). Before the pandemic, classes began with an optional hot meal which was very popular. At this time, with increasing COVID infections, we are unsure when the meal element will resume; please check back frequently for updates.
Classes are hybrid and you can attend in-person or on-line. Each week, you will be sent an email with the class details, and a link to a recording of last week’s class.
The Pilgrims’ Class is traditionally taught by the Rector of Saint Thomas Church. In 2023, Canon Turner will be assisted by The Rev. Dr. Luigi Gioia, Theologian in Residence, who has an international reputation as a teacher, author, and spiritual director. Other clergy will also be available to support members of the group.
