Wonderful Rich Liturgy

by scottc4746 at Citysearch

I bumped into St. Thomas by accident and found a very rich warm liturgy not found in a majority of Episcopal Churches. More smoke from incense inside St. Thomas than there is smog in the entire LA Basin. Mass is intoned (at 1030am) considered an extreamly High Mass. Parish features the Cell of Our Lady of Walsingham so the Rosary is said every Sunday. Evensong is quite lovely including Veneration of the Blessed Sacrement which is rarely done in the Episcopal Church. Do make the effort to go visit.

• Pros: Rich warm High Mass Liturgy
• Cons: Parking can be very limited especially during Holy Week night services. Street parking has lots of restrictions so read the signs.
