"Welcoming as Christ"
by Veronica Shea, Director of St. Bart's Central and The Bookstore
As we move toward opening our buildings to more public activity, resulting in more human interaction, it brings home how much I have missed that social interaction for over a year now. Sharing the architectural beauty of our church home is one of the great joys of my position—the “wow” factor when a newcomer enters the main doors and looks up at the Narthex mosaics never gets old.

Beginning Sunday, May 9 at 5 pm
Spring has come to New York City and the COVID infection rates in the City are declining. Thanks be to God! Restaurants, theaters, museums, and other venues are beginning to re-open and we plan to begin in-person worship again at St. Bart’s on Sunday, May 9 (Mother's Day) at 5 pm. We will begin by welcoming a smaller 25-person congregation to attend this service. It will be important to reserve a seat. Later, we plan to increase numbers gradually to a maximum of 60 persons. We will continue to ask all attendees to remain masked through the service and to maintain appropriate social distancing. Learn more and register here.
