Blandina and Her Companions, the Martyrs of Lyons
Grant, O Lord, that we who keep the feast of the holy martyrs Blandina and her companions may be rooted and grounded in love of you, and may endure the sufferings of this life for the glory that shall be revealed in us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Above: A depiction of the Last Supper from the Communion Window of Saint Thomas. From today’s Gospel according to Saint John, “Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.”¬†
Included in this Festal Eucharist are hymns sung by the congregation and choir, additional music sung exclusively by the choir, lessons, prayers, a sermon, and a Rite I Mass. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Details of the service may be seen in the leaflet, which will be posted at the bottom of this page, where you will also find links to the webcast during and after the service.
‚ñ∫This is the penultimate Sunday with our full Choir of Men & Boys. Next Sunday is “Leaving Sunday.”¬† The day before is the Commencement Ceremony. Therefore, Sunday, June 9 is the last opportunity you will have to hear the full choir at Saint Thomas until they return in September.
