Donation to the CFSA

We would like to thank the members of our Muslim congregation for their kind support to the fundraising which we launched in the aftermath of the devastating fire at the Community Food Sharing Association (CFSA)'s warehouse. Thank you for helping us to raise a total of $5 000 and for dropping so many non-perishable food items at our mosque.

Thanks for Remembering January 29

The Muslim Association of Newfoundland and Labrador would like to thank all the guests who attended the Commemorative Services marking the second anniversary of the Quebec City Mosque massacre. It was comforting and reassuring to see so many of you standing again in solidarity with our Muslim community and joining us as we remembered and prayed for the victims of this tragedy. In that context, we also would like to thank again St. John's City Council for unanimously adopting a motion last year and designating January 29 as a Day of Remembrance and Action Against Islamophobia. We are committed to work together to address all forms of hate and intolerance and to make our communities safer.

Second Anniversary of the Quebec City Mosque Massacre.

Almost two years ago, a gunman entered the Centre Culturel Islamique in Quebec City and opened fire on the congregation who was gathered there for the Isha prayer. This horrific attack took the lives of six Muslim men and gravely injured many others. It also left many widows, orphans and survivors with irrevocable losses and lifelong trauma.

On the second anniversary of this tragedy, the Muslim Association of Newfoundland and Labrador is organizing and hosting two commemorative programs. Please check the program posters for details and join us as we remember and pray together.
