Staff from Hennessy Catholic College, along with Year 11 students from Studies of Religion and Studies in Catholic Thought classes, had the valuable opportunity to visit the Young Mosque and engage with the local Imam. The presentation offered a thoughtful and informative exploration of what it means to be a Muslim and how faith is lived out in everyday life.

For Studies of Religion students, the session provided meaningful insight into the principal beliefs of Islam, directly enriching their current unit of study. Additionally, both Studies in Catholic Thought and Studies of Religion students gained a deeper appreciation for diverse religious perspectives and the vital role of interfaith dialogue in promoting understanding and respect within a multicultural society. The excursion concluded with a generous lunch provided by Tripolian Bakehouse, followed by a guided tour of the new Mosque, which is scheduled for completion in November this year. Sincere thanks to the Young Mosque community for their warm hospitality and the opportunity to learn firsthand about Islamic faith and practice.
