The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
O God, you have taken to yourself the blessed Virgin Mary, mother of your incarnate Son: Grant that we, who have been redeemed by his blood, may share with her the glory of your eternal kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The 11am Eucharist is typically the best-attended worship service at Saint Thomas each week. It is at this service that you not only will experience the full power of liturgy, music and preaching at Saint Thomas, but also will have the opportunity to meet many parishioners in the pews. Coffee hour and a guided tour follow the service. The bookstore, located on the first floor of the Parish House, is open following the service.
Today’s Eucharist is “festal” because of the Feast of Saint Mary the Virgin. You’ll notice the white vestments, as opposed to the normal green vestments which are used during these Sundays after Pentecost. There is also incense during the Offertory. Included during worship 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 is posted at the bottom of this page a few days prior to the date of the service.
‚ñ†‚ñ°The Rector talks about Mary in this week’s audio message.
■□The Choir of Men & Boys, under the direction of John Scott, sings a concert In Praise of Mary in May 2011. Order tickets here.
As you listen to the webcast, you will notice that the members of New York Polyphony sound distant. The reason is that they are singing from the rear and side galleries.
