Biographical history
The North Hatley Unitarian Universalist Church was incorporated in 1886 under the name First Universalist Church of North Hatley. However, the first church was built only in 1895. The church was served by the minister of the Huntingville Universalist Church until a full-time minister was employed. Since 1953, the services are held only in the summer and on special occasions. The Church members are from different places in the Eastern Townships: North Hatley, Sherbrooke, Lennoxville, Rock Forest, Magog, Knowlton, etc. The Church was affiliated with the Vermont and Quebec Universalist Unitarian Convention until the reorganization of the Convention in the 1960s to form the New Hampshire Vermont District of Unitarian Universalist Societies. The Church is managed by a board of directors, different organizations and committees such as the Sunday School and the Women's Alliance. The North Hatley Unitarian Universalist Church is the only active Universalist church in Quebec.
