Funerals and Memorial Services

Picture
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 512-580-0200. The availability of the church and priest is subject to schedules.

You may review the St. John's Funeral Planning & Information Worksheet for more information.

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.

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.
