St. Paul’s 250 Lecture

St. Paul’s Chapel in Lower Manhattan abides as New York’s oldest building in continuous public use, and as a symbol of faith, endurance, and social good. As part of year-long celebration, Trinity Church Wall Street is hosting a series of lectures as well as other special events.
