The worship of God isn’t the sort of thing that a person does merely because it’s beautiful or meaningful or a good thing to do…though worship is, of course, all of those things. The worship of God is the very purpose of creation, and our acts of worship are nothing less than our highest calling as human beings. Worship is the response of the creature to the Creator: who and what we are is shaped to be in relationship with God, and in and through our worship, we give ourselves to God to further form us in the image of love, to heal us, restore us, renew us, and to draw us deeper into relationship.

Saint Thomas Fifth Avenue offers at least one mass every single day of the year. On Mondays through Saturdays at 12pm we offer prayers and intercessions at the shrine of Our Lady of Fifth Avenue followed by a celebration of the Holy Eucharist. This service is offered as a live and on-demand audio webcast. On Sundays we offer a 9am service suitable for children and families and, during the academic year, 11am and 4pm choral liturgies that are video livestreamed at the High Altar and then available on-demand. Visit our complete worship calendar to learn more.

Worship is not just about being-in-community, though. Granted, there are some who will say that they go to church for the fellowship, the sense of bonhomie, to visit with friends. And there are many ways of finding community that may be more convenient or socially satisfying than going to church! Worship, though, is about obeying our Lord’s command, at the Last Supper, to “Do this” (Luke xxii.19, I Cor xi.24-25), celebrating the Eucharist in the context of a living community of faith that is Eucharistically centered, offering to God the worship God has revealed to us in scripture as the way by which we participate in Jesus’ own act of offering himself and, through him, all of creation to the Father. This is why we worship together in church.
