Funeral Ministry
At the time of a funeral, the parish offers a reception following the service, in the tower cloister/gathering space area. Family and friends who would like to help are welcome to do so.

Eucharistic Visitors
The mission of the Eucharistic Visitors is to be a pastoral and sacramental presence to those who are homebound or in the hospital or are recovering from illness by taking the consecrated bread and wine to these parishioners directly from the service each Sunday.

New Baby/New Mom
They make home visits to moms who have recently given birth to or adopted a baby. During the visit, parents are presented with a cradle cross and new baby information. A meal is offered to them at their convenience.

Parish Nurse Health Ministry
Registered nurses, health workers, and volunteers offer an innovative and inclusive ministry through various opportunities for health awareness. The nurses and volunteers provide health monitoring by offering blood pressures and blood glucose testing the first Sunday of every month. The ministry arranges for speakers on health issues, teaches health related topics, and arranges for support groups. The parish nurse arranges and schedules blood donations, flu shots, mobile mammography, CPR and defibrillator classes. Transfiguration is a community nursing site for senior nursing students from Baylor School of Nursing and for registered nurses obtaining their B.S.N. from Texas Womens’ University. Four of our nurses have completed advanced training in parish nursing. The parish nurses serve voluntarily. A parish nurse offers to the church community the education and assessment skills of a professional nurse in a pastoral setting. The nurse is available to help plan nursing home and assisted living arrangements, home health care and other life changing services. The parish nurse is a component of the Pastoral Care Department and works closely with the Pastoral Care priest assisting with Stephen Ministry, coordinating home and hospital visits, record keeping and communication.

R.O.S.E.S. (Reach Out -Serve Elderly Shut-Ins)
