Sister Monica Clare will be the preaching at our 11:00 AM Choral Eucharist and will be with us for a lunch conversation in Draesel Hall after the service. Please welcome her to Holy Trinity. You can learn more about her HERE.

Sister Monica Clare is a nun at the Community of St. John Baptist, an Episcopal religious order based in Mendham, New Jersey. She is the Superior of the convent and will soon be an ordained priest. She is a trained spiritual counselor specializing in religious trauma, mental illness, and addiction.

Before becoming a nun in 2012, she worked as a photo editor in Los Angeles and was a member of the Groundlings Sunday Company. She started her TikTok account, @nunsenseforthepeople, in June 2021, to make people laugh and to demystify life as an Episcopal nun. To her great surprise, the popularity of her TikTok channel has continued to grow and she now has over 179K followers and 1.7M likes.

Her forthcoming memoir, A Change of Habit, will be released in September 2024 by Crown and Sugar23 Books at Penguin Random House.
