We are excited to welcome Rev. Danielle Di Bona back to Channing Church as our affiliated minister for the 2025-2026 church year! Rev. Danielle served as Channing Church's minister many years ago, so having her return as our affiliated minister is a homecoming both for her, and for our members. She will join us in our pulpit at least one Sunday a month and be available to our congregation for pastoral care and to preside over life services (weddings, funerals, child dedications, etc.)

Rev. Danielle has served Unitarian Universalism for 30 years. In 2018, she received the Award for Distinguished Service to the Cause of Unitarian Universalism. In recent years, she has served the UU community as Chaplain for several organizations and by serving on many boards and committees.

Rev. Danielle is bi-racial and claims both her mother's Wampanoag heritage and her father's Italian heritage. She has been active in many Native organizations, with a special interest in removing Native images from sports teams. For fun, Danielle trains and shows her dogs.
