About the Big Bend Episcopal Mission:
The Mission includes St. James' Church in Alpine (Brewster County), St. Paul's Church in Marfa (Presidio County) and Sts. Mary & Joseph's Chapel in Lajitas. Lajitas is in south Brewster County, adjacent to the Rio Grande. About 75 miles separate the south county towns from Alpine and Marfa.
The Mission is supported in part by the Diocese of the Rio Grande and the Southeast Deanery of the Diocese of the Rio Grande.
The Mission phone number is 888-244-2363.
THE REV. JUDITH BURGESS
The Rev. Judith Burgess, the vicar, is a native Texan, and graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary in 1984. She was ordained deacon in 1984 and priest in 1985.
She holds the Mission together by traveling about 30,000 miles per year among the three churches and the Mission territory, which includes Brewster County and Presidio County, the two largest counties in Texas.
The Rev. Burgess was instrumental in raising money to build the high school and library in south Brewster County, enabling children to attend school near their homes instead of spending several hours per day on the bus.
THE REV. ELAINE PONTON
Elaine was ordained Deacon on February 22, 2003 and Priest on November 2, 2003 at St James' Church
