The events of 9/11 have been captured at St. Paul's. With the rescue operations, the first responders and the pictures of the people who lost their lives from that horrific event. It was a humbling moment for all of us, and I don't mean just our party but for everyone who entered the church

St. Paul's brings home to us the importance of remembering all who perished so close to its walls. A peaceful space within which to meditate and appreciate the sacrifices of those who paid with their lives in the service of others.

We stopped here after visiting the 9/11 Memorial. If you love history (I do), you'll really enjoy the old cemetery and seeing George Washington's pew. It isn't a huge grand church, but it felt so "American" to us and made us proud of our history and our resilency. The displays inside the church regarding 9/11 are very moving, and the... More

I had to go here as we had been to the 9/11 memorial site beforehand & this was the little church round the corner, its nothing flash or fancy just a very beautiful & peaceful place to visit & pay your respects to all that lost their lives in 9/11.

It's simple but interesting because this chapel didn't suffer any damage on September 11, and for that reason is called the miracle chapel.

The place were the workers digging out post 911 rested. Very emotional place. Foc to visit and a must see. I love the place. It's an oasis of calm in the bedlam of New York even though its always packed. A visit to 911 site is incomplete without calling into Paul's.

St. Paul's was the chapel which rescue workers used as a haven after 911. It is one of the oldest Manhattan public buildings ..built in 1766. Today, it is more of a memorial shrine for the victims of the 911 attacks. Visiting it, will put you back in the days following 911. We visited on a Monday and the choir... More
