Rev. Shancia Jarrett is the Cannon for Formation at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Baltimore. She is a first-generation Jamaican immigrant whose family migrated to New York City. She is the daughter of a loving elementary school teacher Coleen Jarrett and a cheerful prosthodontist, George Jarrett. 

In 2014, after completing a Masters in Disability Studies, Rev. Jarrett joined St. Hilda’s House, a Benedictine intentional community of young adults, to better understand her faith and Episcopal formation and to support homeless families. After St. Hilda’s House, Rev. Jarrett enrolled in seminary at Yale Divinity School where she earned a Masters of Divinity, Masters of Sacred Theology, and Diploma of Anglican Studies from Berkeley Divinity School. Rev. Jarrett enjoys the academic topics of medieval theology, youth ministry, biblical studies, environmental awareness and lead abatements, housing disparities, and the economics of racism.

Following seminary, Rev. Jarrett was ordained in the Diocese of Connecticut and has served in a variety of parish settings with diverse theological and political views, and collaborated with government agencies to develop affordable housing reports and economic development initiatives.

Outside of ministry, she loves Zumba, creative arts, the writings of Shakespeare and Catherine Cookson, and the ocean.
