Friday Prayer Location Changing from the 27th of November Onwards

BismillahThe location where Friday prayers are held is changing.

The number of people praying in Friday prayers in Letterkenny has grown in leaps and bounds over the last few years!  On the one hand, this is a good thing as it means the numbers of Muslims in Letterkenny is growing alhamdulilah 🙂  On the other hand, it’s meant that we’ve had a challenge dealing with the numbers during Friday prayers.

Letterkenny General Hospital have been very accommodating over nearly 20 years and the Muslim community would like to thank them for this.  However, the growing numbers have caused issues and we needed to find an alternative location to pray.

Starting from the 27th of November onwards, Friday prayers will now be held at the Letterkenny Community Centre.

Please take note of the following information:

Start Date: 27th of November

Khutba Start Time: 1:15 PM  (prayers held from 1 to 2 PM)

Venue: Letterkenny Community Centre (community building – to the right of the main building)

Please note the earlier time of the khutba which is now 15 minutes earlier at 1:15 PM

Please see the map to the Letterkenny Community Centre below.
