As it did a decade ago, Trinity Wall Street, Lower Manhattan’s three-centuries-old Episcopal parish, will open its doors in September to all seeking spiritual refuge. The parish will honor the memory of those so tragically lost, and recall the unparalleled efforts of the first responders, recovery workers and volunteer community. Observances throughout the day will offer contemplation, solace and the embrace of a hopeful future, focused on the theme ’Remember to Love.’ All are welcome.

In the aftermath of 9/11, Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel became sanctuaries for those seeking consolation after the destruction of the Twin Towers. Located directly across from the World Trade Center, St. Paul’s Chapel was shielded from falling debris by a sycamore tree, whose roots are immortalized as a ten-foot-tall bronze sculpture in the south yard of Trinity Church. For eight months after the attacks, ’the little chapel that stood’ was home to an extraordinary volunteer relief effort, becoming a place of renewal and inspiration for Ground Zero’s physically and spiritually weary.
