(CANCELLED) My Neighbour's Faith: Visit to the Hindu Mission Temple

Interested in getting an interfaith glimpse into Montreal’s vibrant Hindu community? Students are invited to join MORSL for a My Neighbour’s Faith visit to the Hindu Mission temple to explore the beliefs and traditions of Hinduism. On Sunday, March 15th, participants are invited to experience a worship service, learn about the temple, and enjoy a free vegetarian lunch with the community.

The Hindu Mission is the oldest Hindu temple in Montreal. Offering daily worship as well as special pujas and services, the temple (or mandir) represents a space for faith, learning and community service. A free community meal is offered after worship every Sunday.

We will meet outside the Hindu Mission (955 Rue De Bellechasse, near Rosemont metro station) at 12:15pm, and the visit will run until 2:45pm.

Please dress professionally, keeping in mind that absolutely no leather is allowed in the Hindu Mission (e.g. shoes, bags, belts). Please also note that participants will be asked to remove their shoes before entering the worship area.

This event for students is free, but please register online here for this amazing interfaith experience!

Part of the "My Neighbour’s Faith" series of visits to religious organizations and sacred sites around Montreal to learn about different faith traditions, observe a religious practice, and ask questions of community members. After a guided visit, student participants join members of this congregation for a community meal followed by a Q&A to gain a better understanding of the meaning of music in this holiday for members of this faith community. Through exposure, dialogue and experiential learning, students who participate in these visits become better equipped to live harmoniously in a pluralistic society.
