Vigil for New Zealand Victims

On Friday, March 15, 2019, two mosques were attacked in Christchurch, New Zealand. This horrific attack took the lives of 50 innocent Muslims, with dozens more injured. The Islamic Society of Boston University will be holding a prayer and vigil to honor and pray for the lives of those affected and taken, and allow space for those mourning to share in our grief.

This vigil will take place on Monday, March 18, 2019 at 7pm on Marsh Plaza (735 Commonwealth Avenue.)
