There will be on-site taraweeh prayers at MCGP this Ramadan, beginning Monday, April 12th after Isha.  We plan to hold a full 20 rakah.  Please review the details below before attending the on-site prayers.  Anyone praying on-site is required to pray with a mask and follow all rules for social distancing.  

​

Indoor

​

200 person capacity indoors (main prayer-hall and MP1) on first-come basis (50 dedicated capacity for women).    The three side doors on both sides of the prayer halls will be opened to allow for adequate ventilation.   In addition to the 200 just mentioned, MP2 (upstairs hall) will dedicated to vaccinated guests (with prior proof of vaccination) with preference for elders. Unfortunately, there is no capacity for youth below 12 years old.  After the first 200, anyone with proof of vaccination will be allowed to go up to MP2, which is not well-ventilated.
 

To summarize, the first 200 get the option of praying inside in the main prayer hall and MP1.   After that, anyone with a proof of vaccination will be allowed to pray upstairs in MP2, with a preference for elders given.  The rest (due to limited capacity as a result of  implementation of CDC guidelines) will need to pray outside. The administration will try its best to make it as easy and comfortable as possible for those praying outside. 

​

Outdoor

​

There are 2 outdoor patios available for use.  Each patio has a capacity of 30 guests so we will accommodate a total of 60 guests.  
In the parking lot under the solar panels we can approximately accommodate 180 guests.  
We will be testing outdoor audio but at this point outdoor guests will need to rely on their phones for the zoom broadcast of the Taraweeh. Outdoors guests will be allowed indoors after 8 rakaats.

No outdoor/personal rugs allowed inside.

Security

Two armed security guards will be present for the safety of those praying.
