Ramadan Mubarak

This past weekend, the new crescent moon marked the start of the holy month of Ramadan. This is a time of deep reflection, devotion, and spiritual renewal for our Muslim community. This sacred month is observed through fasting, prayer, and acts of kindness.

Ramadan’s teachings of self-discipline, generosity, and empathy resonate beyond faith, inspiring unity and understanding among all communities.

To our Muslim friends and neighbors, we send our warmest wishes for a peaceful and meaningful Ramadan filled with blessings, strength, and joy.

Ramadan Mubarak!
