Many Unitarian Universalist Churches have honored Julia Ward Howe on Mother’s Day with a reading of her Mother’s Day Proclamation as part of their worship services. This year we ask you to take an additional step.
Read the proclamation in a public place.
Few people outside of our faith tradition know about Julia Ward Howe and the origins of Mother’s Day. Join our effort to return this holiday to its original intent and honor this important Unitarian forebear, a woman whose faith inspired her to work tireless for justice and equality.

Ministers! Religious Educators!
Do you have sermons and lesson plans to share? Send us copies and we will post them here to help your colleages honor Julia Ward Howe and the origins of Mother's Day.
And don't forget, Reading #573 in Singing the Living Tradition is Howe's Mother's Day Proclamation.
