Joy MoralesReceptionist
I’ve attended St. Austin Church since the early ‘80’s, when I converted to Catholicism while a student at
UT. Having lived in Austin since graduating, being a parishioner here has meant so much to me. From
beautiful Masses and Sacraments, to our daughter’s time at the school, to all the wonderful people,
St. Austin Parish has been “home” throughout the years. After working in group healthcare insurance, the auto industry, and pharmaceutical sales, I feel blessed to now serve as part of the parish staff and am excited about the transitions leading to our new buildings. I love spending time with my husband (Joe), our daughter (Christa), and our boxer (Tyson), as well as baking, taking long walks, and reading Pulitzer Prize winning novels.

Stanley SifuentesStewardship & Communications
I first encountered St. Austin during my last two semesters at Texas State. As an intern, I served the parish in a variety of ways from supporting the ordination festivities to web work. As a full time staffer now, my days are rarely the same two days in a row. As we refine and enhance the website, I'm learning much about our various ministries and the people involved in them. I also enjoy translating as needed for the website or on calls for assistance. I graduated last December with my degree in International Relations. I'm a native of Cali, Colombia, and love a good cup of coffee. I lived in New York and Los Angeles before making my way to Austin.

Stephen KingTechnology
Hi, I'm Stephen. Some of you may be familiar with my parents Judy and David. I came to St. Austin's in 2012, soon after graduating from UT. I started out moving furniture, mopping floors, and other maintenance work. The pandemic was a blessing in disguise for me, since we found ourselves in need of a camera operator, which allowed me to utilize my technical skills and also led me to my new role as the general IT guy for the parish. I'm excited to have the opportunity to face new challenges as we plan our migration to the new office on MLK. In my free time, I enjoy writing JavaScript, long bike rides, reading Slate Star Codex, and playing computer games.
