 “Educational Visit to a Mosque”

On a cold winter afternoon, the St. Thomas More Youth Group received a warm welcome from members of the South Jersey Islamic Mosque in Palmyra , NJ . The Youth Group in coordination with the Council of Islamic Relations and escorted by Monsignor Thomas Morgan visited the Mosque and listened to a presentation on Islam and its similarities to Christianity. The presentation included the meaning of Islam, the Qur’an, and the importance of Jesus and Mary to the Muslim Faith. The Youth Group heard many similar names and stories they learned about in their religious education classes: Adam & Eve, Moses, Noah, the Angel Gabriel and John the Baptist. The Presenter, Mrs. Naseem Badat, emphasized the importance of dialogue with the “People of the Book” (what the Qur’an calls People whose belief is based on the Bible or Torah). The St. Thomas More YG left with a new understanding and respect of the Islam Faith. (Below are the two Youth Groups)
