Tours of Saint Thomas

Guided tours occur on most, but not all, Sunday afternoons following the 11am Choral Eucharist, usually starting at about 12:30pm. Check the calendar for dates, keeping in mind that Sunday tours are added to the calendar a month in advance. If no tour is on the calendar for a particular Sunday, it is usually because some other activity is scheduled in the church which prevents a tour from occurring.

---

We open the doors to the church 365 days a year not only because we have at least one worship service every day, but also because we know the people of our great city need a place in the middle of midtown to sit in peace, to pray, and to approach the altar of the Lord. We invite you to come inside, whenever you want, and to stay for as long as our doors are open. See daily hours here.
