A Change of Habit is the funny, heartfelt story of Monica Clare, who shocked everyone—herself included—by leaving behind a high-stress advertising career fast tracked toward the cast of Saturday Night Live and a life of celebrity parties. Her epiphany came at Jimmy Fallon’s Birthday Party and realized she yearned for a more meaningful life. Growing up watching movies like The Sound of Music and The Nun’s Story, Monica traded red carpets for robes, joining an Episcopal convent where silence, simplicity, and sisterhood reshaped her life.
In her book, Sister Monica Clare, shares her surprising journey with honesty and humor—how she found healing, challenged old rules, and helped create a more compassionate community. Part spiritual memoir, part reminder that it’s never too late to change your life, this book invites readers to let go of perfection, embrace authenticity, and reconnect with what really matters. Co-hosted by the Women’s Ministry at Christ Church Greenwich. Reception to follow in the Parish Hall
