Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: An iron cross made from the remains of the World Trade Center at Ground Zero, which was presented bythe Port Authority Police Department to the The Roman Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, located at 4967 Broadway at the corner of Isham Street in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was blessed on April 27, 2002; a box of momentos donated by family members of those who died inthe 8/11 attack was buried beneath the cross. The permanent installation took place on June 7, 2002.

The church was built in 1935-36 and was designed by Paul Monaghan in the Romanesque Revival style. The Celtic cross at the top of the church is an indication that the parish was originally largely Irish-American; today there are more Dominican-Americans then Irish. The parish was founded in 1911, and their first church was built c.1912 on a site just down Isham Street from the current church. (Sources: From Abyssinian to Zion (2010) and NYC GIS map) |
