The Naparima Bowl has formally invited the Perry Young Masjid and the wider Muslim community to use its facilities for future religious and cultural events.

Speaking at Eid celebrations in Princes Town, Chairman of the Naparima Bowl, Vincent Emmanuel Singh, said the facility is the “cultural soul of the South,” noting that the invitation reflects T&T’s commitment to respect, access and shared values across religious lines.

“As the cultural soul of the south, Naparima Bowl embraces the multicultural nature of our society. We respect all cultures. We not only respect all cultures, but also all religions. So just as I feel welcome today, the Naparima Bowl welcomes the Perry Young ASJA Masjid, as well as those of the faith, those of Islam, we welcome you all to the Naparima Bowl to utilize our facilities for any religious or cultural activities.”

He emphasized that Eid represents shared national values rather than a single-community observance, noting that the celebration itself is an expression of unity in action.

“So today is about unity, and we are united in the positivity of prayer, charity, and humility. We not only share in a public holiday, but today we are sharing in meals, like Imam mentioned. We share in language, we also share in clothing. As we interact, we learn a lot about Islam, and we see the value, the immense value that Islam brings to our community and our nation. And we are very grateful for this.”
