Welcome to All Souls Church of Braintree, a liberal faith tradition
in Braintree, Massachusetts, since 1833. We are a lay-led congregation.

All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church warmly welcomes individuals of all beliefs, including those who identify as non-religious. The community that built our building in 1904 carried forward the kinder, gentler religious tradition that began here in 1833.  All Souls proudly embraces DEIA values, Diversity Equity Inclusion and Accessibility.
​As a Unitarian Universalist congregation, we strive to make the world a better place by living out our values. We covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of all persons as we engage in an ongoing search for truth and meaning.

Whoever you are, whomever you love, however you inhabit your body, and wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome into the life of this church.

Everyone is welcome to join us in fellowship and shared experiences.

All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church welcomes all people to our faith community. Services are in the sanctuary, in person, September through mid June, Sundays at 10:30 am. Our building is accessible; assistive listening devices and large print orders of service are available. Our orders of service, song lyrics and inspiring images are projected on the wall at the front of the church and shown on Zoom so you can easily follow along. 

There are drums at the front of the church and all who attend service are welcome to drum with us as we call everyone to gather together. 

In times of extreme cold, we hold service in the parish hall which is easier to heat. 

​Our services are planned by a dedicated group of volunteers, and are led by guest ministers, speakers and members and friends of our church.

Whether you're in search of spiritual growth, meaningful connections, or avenues to make a positive impact, you'll discover a welcoming home at All Souls Church of Braintree.

Come just as you are, embracing the spirit of acceptance.

The All Souls Reading Group  

The Reading Group will meet on Wednesday, April 8 at 7 pm on Zoom.  https://zoom.us/j/96571006038

We will discuss a segment of Isaac Asimov’s 1950 book, I,Robot.  We will read the book’s introduction and the first story, titled “Robbie”, an early version of which was published in a science fiction magazine in 1940.  The piece explores the emotional connections that a human forms with a robot and whether the robot might have, in turn, formed an emotional connection with the human.  Although conceived nearly 90 years ago, the topic has surprising relevance today as we wrestle over the promise and potential problems that Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings to our world.   Access a pdf of the book here.

Emily Hedrick 

Join us for a service inspired by Viola Liuzzo, a Unitarian Universalist who got in her car and went to Selma because her values drove her to it. Drawing from her story, we'll celebrate a radical idea: that every moment holds more possibility than fear would let us see. Together, we'll ask what becomes possible when we stop waiting for the world to feel safe  from the inside out.

​UU MASS ACTION ADVOCACY DAY 2026
A VIRTUAL EVENT 

  • Thursday, April 16, 2026
  • 10:00 AM 4:30 PM

Register here!

​All Souls members have been participating in Advocacy Day for over twenty years! Originally an in-person event, the event migrated on-line during the pandemic and has remained a virtual event ever since. We gather together on ZOOM in the morning for entertaining, energizing and educational time together. A lunch break is factored into the day’s schedule, followed by smaller Zoom meetings with Senators and Representatives in the afternoon.

UU Mass Action provides a wealth of information to help us understand the issues, and to share directly with our legislators. If you decide to participate, UU Mass Action will provide you with a 1 ½ hour training session on Zoom or give you access to a recording of one of these training sessions.

In these times, we are learning that a healthy democracy is a living, breathing system that invites people to be active in the world so that we can “build a promised land that can be.” (From STLT Hymn 121, We’ll Build a Land.}

This year, why not accept this invitation to participate in Advocacy Day and join with other UUs in your legislative district to meet with your legislators on Wednesday, April 16th?

​Please speak to Mary if interested. 




Accessibility at All Souls Braintree
​
There are two designated spaces in our parking lot behind the church on Charles Street.

Whether you are coming to a meeting, an event or brunch in the Parish Hall, or a Sunday Service, please enter through the ramp door on Charles Street. The access ramp was recently refurbished. 

There are double doors to enter the church at the ramp entrance. These are often propped open before Sunday service or event. If you arrive and find the doors closed or need assistance, please ring the doorbell located next to the doors. The church number is 781-843-1388.

The entrance, sanctuary and the parish hall, where we hold our coffee hour following service, are all on one level and are wheelchair/walker accessible. The ADA compliant restroom is up the ramp in the parish hall. It is a single use, gender-neutral restroom with baby changing station.
