St. Thomas Church - New York (NY)

Troy Gordon I love coming here to meditate—it’s clean, warm, and has a great atmosphere. Plus, on certain days, the security guards are surprisingly friendly. I stopped by on Friday, January 31st, after 2 PM, and the pianist/organist was having an absolute jam session. He was going all out, which was a pleasant surprise. So if you’re looking for some impressive organ music, this seems like the best time to go!

Dane Martel The most beautiful church Ive seen In a long time!!! Absolutely breathtaking architecture on the inside. Wonderful views and statues. Paintings and stain glass windows. Anyone can appreciate the beauty. Came for señor de los milagros. A peruvian saintday festival and had a great time. Its great to just come in and sit and close your eyes for a break. I used to go to fordham across the street and just pop by for a breather. Have fond memories. Theres no bathroom though which they could do.

Anna T I enjoyed the service at their 10 am service at a synagogue.

Eli 1Lane Nice open space attended a modeling show here

George Montagner I attend an AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meeting here called The Atlantic Group, which is the sister meeting to The Pacific Group of California, going on 7 years or so. The interior of this Church is stunning, beautiful, awesome and amazing! Literally and all at the same time! One of the largest AA meetings in New York. I have not attended mass here yet, but the Church is very accommodating to our meetings, which number in the hundreds of members. I recommend visiting this Church for its beauty and Im sure Mass here is just as fulfilling.

Ramon Portilla This is a special small yet full of solitude to pray and attend mass at 8am. It was moving to see many devoted Catholics early.

Amelia Exploring churches in Manhattan is a hobby of mine. Whenever I have time, I like to scout out churches that Ive never been to and visit. I happened to be in the neighborhood after having had lunch near by and found this church. The exterior of the church is a more sedate, Greek revival style with marble columns. I almost mistook it for a bank as I walked by. Thankfully they had the doors wide open and could clearly see inside that it was a church. Once you enter inside youll be blown away by the ornate interior. The murals, stained glass windows, carved wooden beams, and marble altar are very reminiscent of churches in Europe. And the high, barrel vaulted ceilings give the church a feeling of grandeur that bellies its small size. Its a gorgeous old church with some of the best murals Ive seen in the ceiling. I spent quite a long time just staring and meditating at them. I came during an off time and while the church was practically empty. So, I cant comment on the mass or services here as Ive never attended one. But this church is just stunning and worth a visit just to see the interior.

World Traveler I just happened to be passing by one day and wanted to check it out. I’m so glad I went inside and was transported to this peaceful, quiet and spiritual place. The architecture is beautiful and it’s right in between massive buildings in New York City. The calming energy of the space was a nice break from the madness of the city. There’s a theater downstairs that you can access through the elevator. I just wanted to check that out because another review mentioned it. It’s not that cool but it would be fun if you attended one of their events. They seemed to have all kinds of community programs, theater and even a summer day camp for kids.

Cerise Annett Life changing Word going forth at this church. Pastors Dan and Ann are wonderful people and teachers staying true to the Word of God (Bible). The people that go here are warm and friendly. The way the Word is taught here has changed my life. I have a more closer walk with God and Im a more calmer, forgiving person not getting triggered by even the slightest things.

Ben Mason The pastor is real and focused on the positive in life , the the choir is very strong and invites the spirit of the Lord in you. Overall positive experience.
