First Communion

Picture
n the Episcopal Church, whomever is baptized can receive communion. However, if a family or person wishes a special ceremony, they should undertake a special time and course of preparation

If you wish for a First Communion for a child, please call 512-836-3974 or send an email to info@austinstjohns.org to obtain a date. You can also come to any service and contact the rector after the service is over. 

The requirements for a First Communion at St. John's are:
  • Be baptized.
  • Be a member of St. John's for a minimum of 6 months.
  • Attend one class with the Rector. 

There is no charge for a First Communion though donations out of gratitude are common. 


quinceañera

The transition from childhood to woman is an important event in almost any culture. Hispanics, however, mark this momentous occasion with the celebration of a tradition of Quinceañera. St. John's is proud to offer this joyful celebration in the life of a family. LEARN MORE

baptism

Holy Baptism begins the Christian life with water and the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ. It is a public declaration of the deliberate decision to follow the path of Jesus. In the case of infant baptism, it is a statement of the intention of parents to raise a child in the way of Jesus. The link that God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble; so baptism is administered only once. LEARN MORE

confirmation

​​Confirmation is the laying on of hands by a bishop when individuals reach an age when ready to make a mature commitment to a life of faith. Those baptized at an early age, adults baptized without a bishop, and those being baptized in the presence of bishop may join in the ancient tradition of the laying on of hands that stretches back to the first disciplines of Jesus. LEARN MORE

marriage

We welcome all couples, church members and non-church members, to be married at St. John's Episcopal Church. Weddings require preparation in addition to scheduling, including pastoral counseling, and additional requirements for those who have been previously married.  LEARN MORE
