DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Montreal is home to the only Baha’i shrine in
  the Western Hemisphere? Join MORSL for a My Neighbour’s Faith visit to th
 is sacred site\, where we’ll discover the Baha’i faith! On Wednesday March
  20 – Baha’i Naw Ruz (new year’s eve) – students are invited to the shrine
  for a tour\, a video\, and a Q&A. Snacks will be provided! We will meet a
 t 1550 Avenue des Pins West (next door to the shrine) at 5:45pm\, and the 
 visit will run until 8pm. Free\, but you must register via our online form
  to participate in this amazing interfaith experience!\n\nThis event is pa
 rt of our My Neighbour’s Faith series\, which helps students develop relig
 ious literacy by offering trips to various faith centres in Montreal. Thes
 e visits provide participants with an opportunity to experience diverse tr
 aditions firsthand\, to learn about a religion from those who practice it\
 , and to build interfaith community connections.\n\nWhere: 1550 Avenue des
  Pins West (the reception centre\, next door to the shrine)\n	When: Wednesd
 ay\, March 20\, 5:45-8pm\n	Note about our rendez-vous point and meeting tim
 e: We will meet at 1550 Avenue des Pins at 5:45 for sign-in and to enter t
 he shrine as a group. Our visit begins at 6pm. Because March 20th is a spe
 cial day\, and the Shrine has a very strict capacity limit on visitors\, p
 lease arrive by 5:45 pm so we can enter the Shrine as a group.\n\nAbout th
 e Baha’i Shrine and Naw Ruz:\n	This shrine is the only private home in Cana
 da where ‘Abdu’l-Bahá stayed. After His visit\, it was always considered b
 lessed for having been used by the Centre of the Covenant\, the Greatest M
 ystery of God. The Montreal Bahá’í Shrine is\, therefore\, a place of pilg
 rimage. Not only do the upper floor and the room of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá constitut
 e the Shrine\, but the whole building is a historic monument. Even though 
 ‘Abdu’l-Bahá stayed in other homes in Europe and America\, the Maxwell hom
 e in Montreal is the only official Shrine in the Western Hemisphere – a gr
 eat honour for Canada and Montreal. We will be visiting on Naw Ruz\, which
  is the eve of the Baha’i new year and the last day of the 19-day fast per
 iod.\n	\n	Bonus: Because this event is part of MORSL's My Neighbour's Faith 
 series\, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ students are eligible for recognition on their co-curricul
 ar record! Sign up on our website and we'll submit your details to myInvol
