Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto

505 East Charleston Road
Palo Alto, CA 94306

Directions

650-494-0541

uucpa@uucpa.org

We gather,
our different paths entwined,
to deepen our spiritual lives:
nourishing connection,
learning from each other,
caring for each other,
tending to our world.

Meet Our Ministers

Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern has served with UUCPA since 2003. With a fascination for the big questions and a passion for social justice, Amy helps us to create a community where we treat our differences--of theological language, spiritual practice, chosen metaphor, life story--with respect and interest, so that they can enliven our shared journey.

Rev. Catherine (Cat) Boyle joined us in 2022. Embracing wonder, embracing curiosity and embracing life is her credo. Cat's background in theater shows up in her creativity in religious education, and infuses her worship with energy.

Learn about all our ministers here.

Justice Partner

Justice Partner - Peninsula Food Runners

The Justice Partner for June is Peninsula Food Runners.

Peninsula Food Runners’ mission is to alleviate hunger and minimize food waste in the San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. Every day, our volunteers pick up and deliver a wide variety of wonderfully prepared and non-prepared surplus food to community organizations that feed their clients in need.  Website: https://www.peninsulafoodrunners.org

We gather on unceded, stolen land of the Tamien and Ramaytush people. We acknowledge these communities in the interest of truth and justice, awareness and gratitude. In order to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism, we pledge to join the Tamien and Ramaytush people whenever they ask us for solidarity.
