Church of St. Thomas More

At the southern end of Carnegie Hill, a tree-lined stretch of the Upper East Side, sits one of the neighborhood’s older houses of worship. Church of St. Thomas More anchors the block, its stone façade blending with the residential rhythm that stretches from 86th to 90th Streets. Built to serve a growing Catholic population in the 1920s, it remains a steady point on the map, anchoring parish life without fanfare.

This Catholic church remains active through the usual sacramental cycle: weekend Masses, weekday Eucharistic adoration, confessions before and after services, baptisms, and annual cycle of feast-day observances. Call (212) 876-7718 or consult the online map for directions to 65 E 89th St. When you reach the corner of Madison and 89th, you’re there.
