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

This event is part of our My Neighbour’s Faith series, which helps students develop religious literacy by offering trips to various faith centres in Montreal. These visits provide participants with an opportunity to experience diverse traditions firsthand, to learn about a religion from those who practice it, and to build interfaith community connections.

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 sharp to be able to enter as a group. In consideration of our hosts, please be on time.

Please dress professionally, keeping in mind that absolutely no leather is allowed in the Hindu Mission (e.g. shoes, bags, belts).

After a guided visit, 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.
