A New Islamic Center in Downtown Rochester!

We Need Your Help Now!

The Ask

We've found a promising new and larger building right in the heart of downtown Rochester that perfectly aligns with our community's needs. We've taken a significant step by making an offer on this building, priced at $975,000. Thanks to the generosity of Muslims from Rochester and across the nation, we are getting closer to our goal. Yet, we still need your support to bridge the gap, covering the purchase price and essential renovations.

Who We Are

We are the Rochester Muslim Community Circle (RMCC), a non-profit organization dedicated to meeting the religious, social, and educational needs of the Muslim community in and around Rochester, Minnesota. Since our inception in 2009, RMCC has strived to foster a better understanding of Islam through social exchanges with other faiths and serve the broader community as a whole.

Our Challenges

Over the years, our community has flourished and thrived. However, our current Islamic center can no longer accommodate the growing needs of our community. We face challenges such as insufficient space for educational programs for our children, limited room for Friday prayers, and inadequate facilities for religious education, social services, and cultural events.

To address these pressing needs, we have identified a new and larger building located in downtown Rochester that perfectly suits our community's requirements and needs. Mayo Clinic muslim patients and employees will have access to Friday prayers within walking distance. This building holds the promise of becoming the next Islamic Center for our community, a place we can all be proud of, and a true home for Muslims in Rochester, MN.

Our Progress

We've already taken a significant step towards securing this new center by making an offer on a suitable building currently priced at $975,000. We are delighted to report that, thanks to the generous contributions of Muslims from Rochester and across the nation, we are getting close. However, we are still short of our financial goal, which includes the purchase price of the building and the necessary renovations and updates to make it an ideal space for our community's needs.
