>>>The Extraordinary Ministry of St. Paul's Chapel

September 2001-May 2002

After the attack on September 11, 2001, which led to the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, St. Paul's Chapel served as a place of rest and refuge for recovery workers at the WTC site.

For eight months, hundreds of volunteers worked 12 hour shifts around the clock, serving meals, making beds, counseling and praying with fire fighters, construction workers, police and others. Massage therapists, chiropractors, podiatrists and musicians also tended to their needs.

Today, St. Paul's continues as an active part of the Parish of Trinity Church, holding services, weekday concerts, occasional lectures, and providing a shelter for the homeless.<<<

contento de recibirla de nuevo aqui, he pasado varias veces en estos ultimos dias por su blog. no he comentado porque ya lo habia hecho anteriormente. aun asi siempre es un placer oirla a menudo. :-)

estamos de acuerdo, la capilla tiene sus gracias. ?llego a oirlos recitales que presentan al medio dia? me parece que a usted le gustaria, ya que se especializan en conciertos acusticos.

como siempre, un abrazo desde aca.

Interesting. We tend to forget all that went on at that time. And all that people did for the victim's traumas.

absolutely, Si, point well taken, we DO tend to forget, as is natural. but, it WAS a treacherous act that affected us all at some level.

and though we should not overly dwell on the past, it serves us well to remember that for a brief moment the best in us rose to the occasion.
