No. St. Monica is the mother of St. Augustine.

St. Monica, the mother of St. Augustine, was born ca. 332 CE. Monica was a model Christian mother. She was married to a dissolute and violent husband which caused her much suffering, but with Christian forbearance, patience, and dedication Monica succeeded in bringing her husband to baptism. Monica always looked after her son, Augustine. After her death, Augustin was baptized. Monica's cult spread in the 10th Century.

In art, St. Monica is depicted in the black habit of an Augustinian nun. Her attributes are the book of the Rule (Regula) of Augustine and the crucifix. She is the protector of mothers and widows. Her Memorial Day is 27 August.
