On Tuesday March 12th, 2024, the South Asian Circle of Hopkinton (SACH) in partnership with the Muslim students association (MSA) at Hopkinton High school pioneered a new era of partnership between two groups that came together to live their true mission of cultural connections through civic engagements that build inclusion for one and all.

The night unfolded with beautiful decorations, a lavish spread of exotic dishes catered by volunteers of the Muslim community with help from SACH to prepare for a night to remember. The Hopkinton High School cafeteria that was beautifully decorated to welcome one and all to MSA’s first Iftar night of what we hope are countless to come. This night brought together the community to pray together and break bread at the end of a long day of fasting.

The chief guest for the event, Mr. Mohamed Lazzouni from the Boston islamic seminary gave us a wonderful speech about the spirit of this festival and left us much to take back and reflect about. 

Congratulations to all members of the MSA, many thanks to the school superintendent Carol Cavanaugh, school faculty, staff, esteemed Members of the Hopkinton Muslim community and all those who came to support. We at SACH are honored to help the MSA and want to shine the light on the combined efforts of MSA and SACH, together we remain Hopkinton Strong.
