Quincy Mosque

Quincy Mosque is a prayer hall and community center in Quincy Point, Massachusetts, serving Muslims for daily worship and religious education. The building provides space for prayer services, especially the Friday congregation, and includes facilities for Islamic learning programs.

It was founded in 1963 by Lebanese workers from local shipyards and stands as the first purpose-built Islamic center in New England. This founding moment marked the beginning of organized Muslim presence in the region.

Members come from many different countries and backgrounds, creating a multicultural religious community. This diversity shapes how the space is used daily and how people interact during services.

Visitors should check prayer times in advance, as these change with the seasons and are central to daily use. It is helpful to call ahead or check online to ensure arrival at a suitable time for your visit.

The building experienced two fires in 1990 and 2003, but the community used these challenges as opportunities for renewal. The reconstruction efforts deepened bonds among members and demonstrated the community's resilience.
