Loras Hall, St. Paul Campus

St. Thomas has dedicated prayer spaces for Muslim students in Loras Hall on the St. Paul Campus.

Loras 303 A is reserved as a prayer space for Muslim women while Loras 302 is reserved for Muslim men.‌

Juma Prayer Timings

Salat-ul-Jum'a/Friday Prayers are lead regularly in Loras 302 (and relayed to 303A) at 1:30 PM. Muslim students lead prayer and deliver sermons. If you are interested in leading Friday Prayers or giving sermons, please contact Dr. Sadaf Rauf Shier at: shie001@stthomas.edu. Our prayer spaces are open to everyone and are NOT restricted to St. Thomas students only.

Zabeeha Halal Snacks will be provided after Salat-ul-Jum'a in Fall 2018, InshaAllah ur Rahman.

Our meditation rooms are open to people from all faith traditions. Muslim students frequently use these rooms for their daily prayers. Prayer rugs and Kaba locators are available in those rooms.
