NY1 FOLLOW-UP: Ten year later, St. Nicholas' Church has still not been rebuilt. The church's future is the subject of a lawsuit between the church against the Port Authority, which owns the World Trade Center site. For the past decade, parishioners from St. Nicholas have been attending services at the Cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helen in Brooklyn Heights.

The Port Authority would not comment because of the pending litigation.
