Our visit begins at 6pm.

After His visit\, it was always considered blessed for having been used by the Centre of the Covenant\, the Greatest Mystery of God. The Montreal Bahá’í Shrine is\, therefore\, a place of pilgrimage. Not only d o the upper floor and the room of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá constitute the Shrine\, but the whole building is a historic monument. Even though ‘Abdu’l-Bahá staye d in other homes in Europe and America\, the Maxwell home in Montreal is t he only official Shrine in the Western Hemisphere – a great honour for Can ada 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 period.Bonus: Because this event is part of MORSL's My Neighbour's Faith series\, ɬÀï·¬ studen ts are eligible for recognition on their co-curricular record!
