About St. Paul's Chapel

Based on its website, St. Paul's Chapel is reportedly a part of the Trinity Church Wall Street that was reportedly built in 1766.

The chapel remembers St. Paul as a pastor who loved the people as God loved His people.

The chapel was available to the people in the community who would like to visit and see the historic memorials and monuments of the chapel.

It has served as an outreach chapel of the Trinity Church to serve the community, gather people to praise God, and nourishes their faith since it was founded.

Accordingly, St. Paul survived as the church was destroyed due to the fire that happened in 1776.

Moreover, through the help of George Washington and the community, the church was rebuilt in 1790 and made their home.

Washington, who became the first president of the United States, also made a room in the Federal Hall of St. Paul's Chapel.

Through the years, the St. Paul's ministries have extended their outreach across the city. It reportedly became more focused on giving to the needs of the people, including the homeless, immigrants, and women.

Along with the Trinity Church, they became the foundation of the Trinity Church Wall Street.

They are reportedly an Episcopal parish that is dedicated to serving the community through arts, education, outreach, and worship.
