Very sobering. Amazing that this site was basically untouched by the 911 tower falls. Still a memorial for all the fallen heros of 911.

A visit to the Chapel as part of our visit to the 9/11 Memorial site most certainly helped our children understand the atrocities of 9/11. It was a very quiet, sobering experience and presented in such a tangible and respectful way that whilst trying to understand, our 11 year old could see and read the experiences of people and put...

This chapel was used as a rest area for the emergency workers and has become a museum to them since 9/11. Go at noon, they do a daily prayer for peace and it's very emotional.

We came across this church when we're on our way to the 911 memorial. It's a nice little church. It's a bonus to us learning what's its role during 911. But what fascinated me more would actually be the graves which lied at the back of the church. If you take a look at the pictures that other travelers posted,... More

I missed out on seeing St. Paul's Chapel last time I visited New York so I made it a priority to visit this time around. I went at about 2pm before I went to the 9/11 memorial and it was busy but not so crowded that you couldn't take it all in. There is a subway station outside so easy... More

A must visit before you go to the 9/11 memorial. Go inside to see the heart warming display of courage and hope.

What a beautiful place! Whether Catholic or not, this holy place is worth a stop to attend a mass, or just appreciate the architecture in a peaceful setting. Presently, a major restoration is in process, so there is more scaffolding inside and out than you can imagine, but services continue as does their open door policy to come in and... More

So moving...the story that connects the chapel to 9/11 is so moving. The tranquility of the chapel compared to the hustle of the outside shows the beauty of God's house.
