Funeral
Funerals and Memorial Services in the Episcopal Church are a proclamation of the resurrection. Our funeral rites assist us in mourning, offer prayers for the deceased and those who mourn, and remind us that because Jesus was raised from the dead, we too shall be raised.
If you are in need of a funeral or memorial service, please contact the church office as soon as possible at 512-836-3974. The availability of the church and priest is subject to schedules.
Please read the attached pamphlet on funerals prior to meeting with the priest. {link to .pdf of Funeral Customary}

baptismHoly 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
