April 19, 2026

As towns around Boston celebrate Patriot's Day weekend, we're reflecting on what it means to be part of the United States of America—and what our faith calls us to do about it. As a liberal and liberatory religious community, we believe in holding both the hard truths and the hopeful possibilities of this nation and its people with integrity.

Join us Sunday at 10 am ET for a service of inspiration, honest reflection, and community. After the service, stay for refreshments and fellowship in the Parish House dining room—a chance to deepen connections with neighbors and friends.

Our Seven Principles

Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote seven Principles, which we hold as strong values and moral guides. We live out these Principles within a “living tradition” of wisdom and spirituality, drawn from sources as diverse as science, poetry, scripture, and personal experience.
