Ramadan at St. Thomas
Ramadan, the 9th month in the Islamic calendar, is a holy month of fasting, charity, prayers, and self-reflection.
During Ramadan, we offer a variety of opportunities to break the fast, engage with community and hear from special speakers, along with other activities.
This year Ramadan 2025 is starting on evening of February 28, 2025. While we are continuously working on making this Ramadan at St. Thomas a great experience for you, please keep visiting this page for possible updates/ additions.
