Ericka Houze

Ericka is a born and raised Texan married to an 8th generation Texan, Jared.  She has two little Texans, Simon age 3 and Jude age 7 months.  Jared and Ericka met during college at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX and were married in August 2004.  Ericka graduated from HSU with a BBS in English Education and a MEd in Gifted and Talented Education.  Jared has two degrees from HSU as well, a BA in History and a MA in Family Psychology.

Jared and Ericka moved to Austin in August 2010 for Jared to attend the Seminary of the Southwest and pursue ordination in the Episcopal Church.  He is currently a middler and will graduate May 2013.  His field parish placement is at All Saints’ Episcopal and their family attends regular services there.  St. James’ has become a second home for Ericka though.  Being a parish administrator here is never boring and always very rewarding.  She is proud to be a little part of this community and loves to worship here when she can.  There is just no other church like St. James’ Austin!
