Rev. Catharine Harris

Minister Emerita

(she/her)

The Reverend Catharine Harris was the first full-time Minister of our Fellowship, serving our congregation from 1993 until she retired in 2006. Prior to that, she had been the minister of the UU Church of Cheyenne, where she was ordained in 1986, the first UU minister to serve a congregation in Wyoming. During her ministry at the Fellowship, the congregation purchased their first building and moved from a rented facility in Boulder to the present location in Lafayette.

Today, Rev. Harris is retired from active ministry. She is the first Minister Emerita at the Fellowship, a title she was bestowed after her retirement. She now is a valued member of our congregation. Rev. Harris loves to read, especially on topics related to US political issues and world politics. She also enjoys walking every day in open space near her home in Boulder, where she can pursue her love of bird watching. She and her husband, Dick Harris, have one daughter, Julia.
