Meet Our Minister


The Rev. Leonetta Bugleisi became an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister in 1990. She has served congregations in Mankato, Minnesota; St. Louis; and Chicago.

Her interest in Buddhism is foundational to the openness to all world religions that are referenced and affirmed by UUs. The Rev. Leonetta brings a depth of spirituality expressed in experiential Labyrinth walks, meditation, Enneagram personality talks and grief processing.

Creating rituals for life-transitions such as child dedications, weddings and unions, memorial services and seasonal celebrations such as solstices are among her loves and creative specialty work. She lives in Sterling Heights with her partner of 18 years.
