Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to the Friday night program at 7 pm, or email info@mahdieh.org before you visit to ask about visitors and what to expect..

What to expect

The Friday program starts at 7 pm with the call to prayer and the evening prayer, then a reading of a traditional prayer and a talk. A meal follows and continues after the program. The site does not say whether visitors join the prayers, what to wear, or how long the evening runs.

Tips for your first visit

  • Email info@mahdieh.org before you come, since the site does not say how visitors are welcomed.
  • Arrive by 7 pm, when the program starts.
  • Ask the imam, who is at the center in person on Fridays, about dress and seating.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The site describes the Friday program and says the imam is there in person on Fridays, but it does not say whether visitors are welcome or how a newcomer should start..
