Reverend Ed’s Last Service
Join the Proulx Posse Hoedown
Reverend Ed Proulx serves the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Palm Beaches as our Interim Minister from 2020 through 2023.
He comes to us after a 29 year career in pension services, working mostly for banks in CT, NY and most recently in SC.
He is married to Francine and has two college-aged daughters who both still reside in SC.
His call to ministry is to “walk with you as you experience the mysteries of being human.”
