Please note: The Puerto Rican Day Parade is this Sunday, June 9, and the route is along 5th Avenue. A representative from our Security Team will meet parishioners coming from the east side at 5th 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.
