The Reverend Emily Mellott

The Reverend Emily A. Mellott comes to Trinity from the Diocese of Chicago, where she was instrumental in launching the nationally growing “Ashes to Go” movement, in which church leaders take to the streets on Ash Wednesday to offer prayer and ashes to people who need to meet God outside the walls of the church.

Mother Emily is a graduate of the Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, California, and served congregations near St. Louis and Chicago before being called to Trinity. Before seminary, she worked for a small adventure travel company outside Chicago, teaching sea kayaking and helping plan adventures from the Midwest to the Mediterranean to the Arctic.
