Albanian American Muslim Community Islamic Center

The Albanian American Muslim Community Islamic Center sits at 38 Raymond Street in Waterbury, Connecticut. It is a Sunni mosque serving the city's Albanian-American Muslim community, and the directory Zabihah lists it as a historic mosque dating to 1965.

The congregation also goes by the shorter name Albanian American Muslim Community, or AAMC. Its own history page recounts how an early committee was formed, funds were raised, and a building was purchased on South Elm Street as the first home of the Albanian American Moslem Community before the community settled at its Raymond Street address.

Day to day, the center functions as a full mosque for prayer and religious life. Alongside worship, the community runs a Food Sharing Program and a Scholarship program, and maintains an events calendar and member-based structure that residents can join through the AAMC website.

Waterbury is home to more than one Albanian Islamic institution, and this mosque on Raymond Street is distinct from the Albanian American Cultural & Islamic Center "Hasan Prishtina" on Columbia Boulevard. For the Albanian Muslim families who gather at 38 Raymond Street, the center remains a long-standing religious and social anchor in the city.
