In advance of 9/11 in 2017, J. Chester Johnson was interviewed about his three recent books by Monsignor Kieran Harrington of The Net, the Catholic Television Network, for the program, ‘In The Arena.’ Special emphasis was given in the interview to “St. Paul’s Chapel,” the poem that became the memento card at St. Paul’s Chapel, which was the relief center for the recovery workers at Ground Zero following the terrorists’ attacks. The poem has been distributed to well over a million visitors and pilgrims to the Chapel. In addition to answering questions about his literary and social action activities, J. Chester Johnson ended the program by reading the entirety of the poem.
