North Penn Mosque is a mosque in Lansdale, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. In addition to daily prayers, the mosque arranges education programs, social activities, interfaith dialogues, and peace efforts in the community.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]North Penn Mosque was established in 2000 when local Muslims realized they needed a place to congregate and pray together.[1][2] The site of the mosque sits on the former Saint Marie Club.[3]
After a zoning hearing on February 18, 2014, the mosque received permission to convert a nearby building they had bought into an education center. It was intended for after-school religious educational classes, as well as private apartments for religious instructors capable of housing two families, and money was raised with fundraisers.[4]
On April 4, 2021, 650 people were vaccinated at the mosque which was used as a COVID-19 vaccination clinic.[5]
