Chaplain
Alhamdulillah! After many years, members of the McGill Muslim Alumni Society (MMAS) and MSA McGill are excited to announce the launch of a new chaplaincy program dedicated to serving Muslim students at McGill and other Montreal universities!
This program is offered through the MMAS' sister organization, the Mont Lumiere Foundation (MLF) and in collaboration with MSA McGill. The MLF is founded and run by McGill alumni to support the spiritual and mental well being of Muslim students during some of the most challenging times of their lives.
The MLF first chaplain is Faisal Malik, who is a long-time Montreal resident with experience in grass-roots community work in the local Muslim community (and even has led multiple Khutbahs on our campus).
If you're a student in need of support, looking for guidance, or just need someone to chat with, you can book an online or in-person meeting today with Faisal.
