From Our Director of Religious Education For Children and Youth
Congratulations to the high school class of 2022!
We were so glad to bless your journey into young adulthood during your Bridging Ceremony in May.

She says she might want to be a Radio DJ and is working on her Girl Scout Gold Award on Autism Awareness and Acceptance.
Amelia McPartlin and her family first came to the UU Congregation of Danbury in 2008 or 2009. She is graduating from New Fairfield High School this year and plans to attend Savannah College of Art and Design for Illustration in the Fall.
