The chapel’s modest scale feels striking beside the towers of the rebuilt World Trade Center. Its long history and role as a place of refuge and care after September 11 add depth to the churchyard and interior. Walk around the building to appreciate its survival, then enter respectfully when visitor access allows to experience the calm within.
What to look for
Look at the chapel and churchyard, then enter quietly if the building is open to visitors.
