In the midst of Manhattan’s concrete towers and bustling streets, a quiet chapel tells a story of divine preservation —a miracle tucked into the heart of our nation’s most iconic city. St. Paul’s Chapel, built in 1766, is more than a landmark. It is a living reminder that God’s hand has been on America since its very beginning.

On April 30, 1789, after swearing the first presidential oath on the balcony of Federal Hall, George Washington walked reverently to St. Paul’s Chapel. He wasn’t heading to a banquet or a parade — he was going to pray. Joined by members of Congress, he dedicated the United States of America to Almighty God, recognizing that our freedoms could only be sustained by virtue and divine providence.

Remarkably, over 200 years later, St. Paul’s stood untouched when the Twin Towers collapsed on September 11,2001. Not a single pane of glass was broken. In the chaos and sorrow, the chapel became a beacon of hope — a shelter for first responders, a sanctuary of healing, and a powerful reminder that God’s protection is still real, still present, and still vital.

Today, The 917 Society is calling America back to that sacred moment. As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, we are inviting patriots, pastors, students, and families to walk again in Washington’sfootsteps — literally and spiritually

— on April 30, 2026, at noon in New York City. We will gather at Federal Hall and walk to St. Paul’s Chapel, just as our first President did, to rededicate this nation to God in prayer and humility.

But this is not just a ceremony. It’s a national mission.

The 917 Society’s 250th Mission

To honor our Semiquincentennial, The 917 Society is undertaking a bold initiative: to distribute 2.5 million pocket Constitutions to every 8th grader across America — a generation that desperately needs to understand our God-given rights, our founding values, and the truth about the nation they are inheriting.

We believe that an informed citizen is a free citizen, and there is no better tool to preserve liberty than the UnitedStates Constitution — the very document born out of a belief in natural rights and moral order.

For this historic occasion, The 917 Society is printing a special commemorative edition of the Constitution that will be distributed during 2026 — a keepsake and educational resource that will remind students not only of their rights,but of their responsibilities as American citizens.

We are encouraging every man, woman, and child in this nation to carry their own copy of the Constitution, just as the Founders carried Scripture — not as a symbol of pride, but as a guidepost of truth.

A Call to President Trump and All Who Love This Country

In this spirit, we are calling on President Donald J. Trump — as a leader who has stood unapologetically for American values — to join us in New York City on April 30, 2026, at noon, to walk with us and to kneel again, as Washington did, in prayer. This is not a political event — it is a sacred moment to seek God’s blessing, guidance,and protection as we turn the nation back to Him.

Now is the time for revival — not just in churches, but in the very soul of our Republic. Let this walk, this act ofrededication, be the spark that ignites hearts and reawakens our identity as “one nation under God.”

Let us remember that our Constitution, our freedoms, and our very future depend not merely on elections, but on whether we will honor the God who gave us this land.
