The Israel Day Parade is this Sunday, June 2, and the route is along 5th Avenue. Head of Security, Robbie Giannetta, will meet parishioners coming from the east side at Madison Avenue 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.

- Monday-Friday: 1 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
- Saturday: 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.

About the Exhibition
This professionally-curated exhibition traces the history of the parish through the building, decoration, and consecration of four church buildings, two at Broadway and Houston Street and two in the present location at Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street, each of which was hailed in its time as an important contribution to Gothic Revival architecture in the United States.
The exhibition features documents and photographs that follow the parish as it moved from downtown to midtown. The display cases showcase the architecture, décor, music, liturgy, and service, some with eye-catching silver liturgical objects and embroidered vestments that have been donated to the parish over the decades.
