A warm welcome to two new team members at St. Anastasia Catholic Community – Kirk Hendrickson, Music Director, and Elli Burmis, Director of Religious Education and Social Concerns!
Kirk brings not only his incredible talent but also his deep connection to our parish as a devoted member. Alongside his lovely wife Amanda and their four children, he’s ready to take the musical experience at St. Anastasia to new heights! Having previously served as our Youth Minister, Kirk knows the heartbeat of our community and will infuse it into every note he orchestrates.
Elli is no stranger to the St. Anastasia Community – she attended Kids’ Depot as a kid and then started working there at the age of 17. She came back to work at Kids’ Depot during summers throughout her college years, and that’s when she met Jake (St. A’s Director of Youth Ministry). They were married at St. Anastasia in August 2023. Elli said, “I love the St. A’s community and though it has felt like home for many years, it is a true blessing and gift to have the the opportunity to serve as the Director of Religious Education and Social Concerns. I am very thankful and excited for all that is to come!”
Welcome, Kirk and Elli! We’re glad your here to help strengthen our community in Christ!
