LONDON, ONT. - Mother Teresa Catholic secondary school is turning a second-floor office into an Islamic prayer room -- the first high school in the city, private or public, to do so.
Carpet will soon cover the tile flooring, speakers will be installed and prayer mats purchased to provide the school's Muslim students, estimated at around two dozen, with a quiet and private place to pray.
The idea has been in the works since the end of the last school year after a group of Muslim students lobbied administration to create the space.
"They're members of our school community. We want to ensure that all our students feel welcome, that they feel that they belong," said Principal Ana Paula Fernandes.
The prayer room, expected to be completed by the end of September, is located on a busy stretch on the second floor, just metres from the school's large chapel. "That was very important to ensure that it was included in the main building, and not tucked away somewhere," Fernandes said.

I’m stunned.....
that is so folking wrong allowing satan a place at a “Catholic” school
EPIC FAIL
CINO libs have been pwned
Let's demand a crucifix atop your neighborhood mosque.
kick those depraved students out NOW
Islam is a war plan.
If they are not going to promote Catholic doctrine and Catholic value, why even have a Catholic school?
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Of course, it is Canada, and Canadian Catholics are in even worse shape than US Catholics.
I bet you’re going to see a lot of Catholic parents taking their kids out of this school, though, and pretty soon the good (raving liberal, mush-brained) sister is going to end up with only Muslim students.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we here in the United States of America, whose very own divine document that is the US Constitution, is the very instrument in which we ourselves will end up facilitating our own deaths, as well.
WTF?????
Good thing I went to Mass this morning. I need all the strength I can get!
You obviously aren’t from Ontario, or you would know that the reason for having Catholic schools is to provide jobs for members of the Catholic Teacher’s Unions, to destroy the faith of the students, and make people feel warm and fuzzy as they amble towards hell. That, as far as I can tell, is the general mission of the publically-funded Catholic schools in Ontario. There are some good people doing some good things in the schools, but they are greatly out-gunned.
Ping
This way some graffiti just down the hall makes the national press.
Something like "Hide your goats, Mo is a perv"
That’s like giving office space to a drug dealer in a drug rehab clinic.
Ping Worthy.
Funny! When I taught at a Catholic school here, I was not allowed to keep my King James Bible lest the students may see it. Of course I kept it, and the students asked questions about it... but that’s so far from allowing Muslim prayers!
Georgetown’s law school has had a Muslim prayer room for over 20 years. The only priest they had on faculty was a liberation theologist (Marxist).
