In Solidarity With the Muslim Community
|
|
We at St. Thomas are saddened to hear the news of recent arson attacks on Twin Cities-area mosques. We condemn violence and hate against marginalized communities. An attack on any community due to their faith is an attack on all our religious freedoms. Our hearts and prayers are with those most affected by the recent attacks.
The Muslim community recently ended the period of Ramadan and entered Eid al-Fitr, a three-day holiday. Campus Ministry and Chaplain Shier Sadaf invite you to attend our Eid Banquet on Monday, May 1, from 6-8:30 p.m. in Anderson Student Center as a show of support for our friends and colleagues in our community who practice the Islamic faith.
