Laura Redmond, Lay Chaplain
Laura is a lay chaplain with Beacon Unitarian Church, offering inclusive, personalized ceremonies to honour life’s meaningful milestones — from weddings to memorials and other rites of passage.
Laura has held various leadership roles at Beacon over the past 20 years and has recently embraced the opportunity to serve as a lay chaplain. She was drawn to chaplaincy by the meaningful chance to accompany people through some of life’s most significant transitions.
With a calm, thoughtful presence, Laura works with individuals and families to create rituals that are not only personally meaningful but also uplifting and deeply connecting. She is guided by a belief that we all thrive when we feel connected — to ourselves, to one another, and to the possibilities that life continually offers.
