(born Clare Theresa Crockett; 14 November 1982 – 16 April 2016) was an Irish Catholic religious sister and former actress from Northern Ireland.
She worked as a theatre actor, writer and director, and as a TV presenter for Channel 4, and was offered a position at Nickelodeon which she turned down.
[3] She felt confirmation of her call in the months afterwards, including from a priest at World Youth Day 2000 who told her surprising details of her childhood.
She worked in Spain, the United States and Ecuador, doing pastoral care duties, hospital chaplaincy, teaching and missionary outreach.
[15][16][17] Her remains were flown from Ecuador two weeks after her death back to her home town of Derry and were laid to rest in the new area of the City Cemetery on Lone Moor Road.
[26][2] A number of healings and fertility miracles have reputedly been attributed to her by people who prayed for her intercession,[27][28][29] and a 2020 article in The Irish Catholic referred to calls for her to be declared a saint.
[33] In 2024, the Catholic Church declared Sister Clare Crockett to be a Servant of God, in what a BBC News article described as the "first step towards being officially recognised as a saint".
