Bereavement Funeral Reception Committee

One of the most appreciated and rewarding ministries of the parish, the Bereavement Funeral Reception Committee prepares and serves a reception for the bereaved family members and friends following a funeral or memorial at the church. We invite all members of the parish to consider joining this committee to share their love and charity in this most meaningful and gratifying ministry.

Childcare/Nursery

Childcare is available for the Sunday 8:30 AM, 10:30 AM, and 12:15 PM Masses, and by reservation for other parish events if advertised.

If you can lend an hour a week, you can help keep the pews and narthex clear of clutter. Additionally, before Easter and Christmas, a deep cleaning of our church is scheduled.

Coffee and Donuts (Emmaus)

Emmaus Dinner Club
Contact: Joan Wood, (512) 402-1273; Karen Knaus, (512) 261-8401
The round robin dinner groups offer an opportunity to meet fellow parishioners and have an inexpensive evening of fun. This ministry is centered on promoting community and getting to know one another. The Dinner Club is open to all adult parishioners whether single, married, divorced, or widowed. Participants get together in groups of eight and share dinner in one another's homes four times during the year. The year kicks off in August with a wine & cheese event to meet and assign new couples for the upcoming year. This is not a gourmet cooking club. It's just a great way to meet fellow parishioners!

Emmaus Moms

Emmaus Moms is a ministry at Emmaus Catholic Parish that offers social, spiritual, and educational support to moms in the parish as they begin and continue the momentous journey of motherhood. Our group emphasizes welcoming, motherhood outreach, spiritual growth, and community involvement through playgroups, moms' nights out, spiritual gatherings, online communications, and other creative and fun events.

Faith Formation and Youth Ministry
It has often been said that "it takes a village to raise a child," and nothing can be truer when it comes to forming young followers of Jesus in their Catholic faith. Whether you are a trained teacher, crafts person, love to play games, or have excellent administrative skills, the young people of our parish community will benefit from your contribution. Whether as a learner, a teacher, or a little of each, we have many opportunities to help with Faith Formation at Emmaus Catholic Parish. Visit the Faith Formation pages to learn more.

Fund and Friend Raising Events
Contact: Parish Office, (512) 261-8500, [email protected]
There are many ways to support Emmaus Catholic Parish. Financial support, through our stewardship program, is certainly critical to the long-term viability of our parish. A variety of special events, including our annual Gala, provide much-needed income to the parish while serving as community-building opportunities. It takes many volunteers working together to make these events a success for our parish. Visit the Parish Support pages and raise your hand as an event volunteer!

Social Saturday hosts plan and carry out these special fellowship opportunities after the Saturday 5 PM Mass approximately once a month. New members are always welcome! Join this group to learn more.
