I've only been to one other mosque briefly and never in San Diego so this was a very new experience for me. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. The food was pretty good especially for a $7/ticket. I am sure they subsidize and sponsor the meals as the food was hefty. If they have more talks and programming I am open to coming back for events.

But I can comment on the welcoming and friendliness that greeted me when I visited it with a question. This was before our first trip to Türkiye, and we wanted to learn about proper etiquette when visiting the major mosques in Istanbul. The person I met was very helpful, and also explained the Center.

I can only say one thing, sometime yesterday I got this overwhelming feeling to just reach out, and happened to come to the door and was greeted by a man, who welcomed me and sat down with me as we introduced ourselves. I had no idea the purpose of what initially brought me there but sitting down with Solomon, getting to know him and speaking about ourselves, I was in the company of a good man in the presence of God. Community, love, respect, a few things we as a country have to get back to, getting to know your neighbors, and it starts by reaching out. It's beautiful knowing that a lot of interfaith events are happening to bring the community together, but it all starts as individuals. I will say this, I was blessed to meet and be welcomed by a great man yesterday, and I am proud to be a resident in the community of such loving and welcoming people. I look forward to working together, learning together and just making our community a better place by educating the rest of the community to have open minds and hearts. Thank you for a simple and amazing experience, God bless my brothers and sisters.

Kedar Maharaj did an incredible job before and during our wedding and we cannot recommend him more…read morehighly. He has a wonderful mix of a traditional and modern approach that we, our families, and all of our guests loved. To start, he was highly organized and professional. We had video calls and text discussions to ensure all of the rituals were well planned in terms of flow and necessary items were prepared. In addition to the wedding ceremony, he led janoi and choora ceremonies which he did a tremendous job on. We loved how well he explained the meanings behind all of the rituals to us as well as our guests, which made the wedding ceremony, janoi, and choora rituals more engaging and spiritual with the added context. He was also so personable and friendly and we consider ourselves blessed that he was our priest for such an auspicious occasion.

Leading up the wedding, he answered all our questions over calls and texts to ensure we were all aligned and prepared for the ceremony. He even suggested a zoom call with myself, my husband, and both our Moms a few weeks before the wedding to talk through the whole ceremony to ensure there were no surprises on the day and we brought all the necessary items for the ceremony. During the ceremony, he did a great job explaining the meaning behind the different rituals and making the experience inclusive for all out guests. Many of our guests commented on how much they appreciated his approach and would love to have him lead their family members' future weddings, baby shower ceremonies, etc. Overall, I appreciated his attention to detail and his modern approach. We look forward to building a stronger relationship with Kedar Maharaj for future events.

Good news, folks, I didn't burst into flames upon walking through the front door…read more.. Yeah, I was raised "conveniently" Catholic, which is my way of saying that we went to church a few times a year when I was young, mostly on religious holidays, but our attendance slowed to a trickle in later years settling for a prayer at the dinner table as a sufficient substitute. In the same breath, my older brother jumped headfirst back into the church a few years ago and because of that we celebrated his wedding at San Rafael Parish. I will say that it's an incredibly bizarre feeling to attend a six person wedding in a massive space like this, but 2021 is still making up for 2020's shortcomings and gatherings still seem like a bad idea. So, our tiny family of six was joined by the Monsignor, a piano player, a singer, a photographer, and an employee that webcasted the ceremony to Australia, my sister-in-law's homeland. Everything was perfect. Everything was sincere. Everything was beautiful. Thanks San Rafael Parish for opening your doors to my brother and his bride on their special day and giving them the religious wedding that they were really looking forward to.
