St.Paul’s Chapel survived without even a broken window when the twin towers fell on 9/11. It’s also the oldest surviving building in Manhattan. This chapel served as a place of rest and refuge for recovery workers at the WTC site who slept on the pews, their helmets as pillows. For 8 months, this was a place for 100’s of volunteers working long hrs serving meals, making beds, counseling and praying with fire fighters, construction workers, police and others.

It shows that for those 8 months, there was no thought of skin color, race or religion but only unity and humanity.

This church was founded in 1697 and witnessed the first miracle: surviving the great fire of 1776.
