VESTRY, CLASS OF 2027

Greetings everyone! My name is Nia Harris, and I have been attending St. Monica and St. James since January of 2023. An Atlanta native, I moved to Washington DC in the fall of 2022 and have lived in the Capitol Hill neighborhood ever since. I am excited to serve my fellow parishioners and bring God's (and our church's) love to our community!

VESTRY, CLASS OF 2027

I have been attending 8am services at St Monica and St James since moving to Washington from New Jersey in 2018. My wife Stephanie, my daughter Michele, and I live on Tennessee Ave. 

I am a retired engineer and an absolute morning person. I look forward to meeting the 11 o'clock folks.

VESTRY, CLASS OF 2027

I have been a member of the Parish of St. Monica and St. James since Dec. 1991. I was married in the church on Oct 11, 1992.  I live in the neighborhood and have enjoyed attending services at SMJEC. The community always welcomed me and my late husband, Rick. Unfortunately, we weren't able to attend often due to Rick's long term illness. When he passed away on June 3 of 2024 his funeral was held at SMJEC and I was reminded of the wonderful SMJEC community. I look forward to being an active member of the parish through service on the vestry.
