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.

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.

Sunday Service

The Sunday Service and Music Committee wants you to know that "Food for the Soul" potlucks will continue through the summer on the First Sunday of each month.

August 2 and September 6 at 10:30 am in the Parish Hall.

We plan to stream the August Food for the Soul on Zoom from the Parish Hall. This may present some technical challenges, so we appreciate your patience. Also, note that the Canton church is planning a couple of Cluster Services during the summer.


Social Action

The committee and many congregation members were busy this past church year in a variety of activities and events. Among the activities were hands on service projects, advocacy, and education. All that participated in some way are
appreciated.

Some activities were:

Marge Crispin Food Pantry donations
Collection of hats and mittens
Winter Coat collection 
2 sessions of making brown bag lunches for Father Bill’s Homeless
Support for immigrant local Haitian Family for grocery cards, infant necessities and children’s Christmas gifts
Participation in No Kings standouts and May Day Labor standouts with other congregations
Participation in UU MASS Action Advocacy Day and meetings.

The committee hopes to continue the fine work and assist those members who have volunteered and worked so hard this year. We heartily thank all of you and invite you to join us in the coming church year.



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. 

​If you encounter any issues with accessibility, please let us know.

 
Regular services
resume in September.

Until then, you might enjoy watching recorded services available at any time on our Videos page Videos
