“Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship. He Who is the Day Star of Truth beareth Me witness! So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.” —Bahá'u'lláh

The Baha'is of Town of Mount Royal warmly invite you to join us in working to translate these words into physical reality.
