We’re Almost There. Let’s Bring It Home.

Phase 3 focuses on improvements that will make St. Anastasia more accessible, welcoming, secure, and functional for our parish community.

Expanded, Accessible Restrooms
Much-needed improvements to both the men’s and women’s restrooms, providing updated facilities designed to better accommodate parishioners and visitors, including those with mobility needs.

Enhanced Security
Additional security improvements to provide a safer, more secure environment for those who worship, gather, and participate in parish activities.

Updated Adoration Chapel
Improvements to the Adoration Chapel, including a dedicated private entrance and restroom, allowing more convenient, independent access to this sacred space for prayer and reflection.

Renovated Cry Room and Bride’s Room
An updated, more functional space for families with young children and those preparing for weddings, complete with its own private restroom.

Expanded Church Entrance and Gathering Space
A redesigned front entrance and larger gathering area that will provide additional space for fellowship and create a more welcoming arrival experience.

New Baptismal Font
A new baptismal font to replace the existing font, which would be more costly to repair than replace, providing a beautiful and meaningful place to celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism for years to come.

Every contribution, regardless of size, moves us closer to completing Phase 3. Whether you have supported the campaign from the beginning or are considering your first gift, we invite you to join this final effort.

Extend Your Current Pledge
If you are currently making payments toward your Capital Campaign pledge, please prayerfully consider extending your contributions for an additional six months. Continuing your current level of giving for just a little longer can make a meaningful difference in helping us reach our goal. If you have questions about your current pledge or would like assistance extending it, please contact Brittany at the Parish Office.

1. Make a New or Additional Gift
   One-time donations and additional contributions are welcome and appreciated. You may give in any of the following ways:
   1. Give Online: Make a secure contribution through our OSV online giving platform.
   2. Mail or Drop Off: Send or deliver your donation to the St. Anastasia Parish Office.
   3. Sunday Offering: Place your contribution in an envelope marked “Capital Campaign” and include it in the Sunday collection.

   4. Give Through Your Retirement Account: If you are eligible, you may arrange for a charitable distribution directly from your IRA to St. Anastasia. Please contact the Parish Office when arranging your gift so we know to expect the check and can ensure your contribution is properly identified and directed to the Capital Campaign. Checks from financial institutions do not always include the donor’s name or intended designation.

2. Consider a Year-End Gift
   As you review your year-end charitable giving, please consider including St. Anastasia’s Capital Campaign in your plans. For those age 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from an eligible IRA may be an option for supporting the campaign while offering potential tax advantages. Please consult your financial or tax advisor to determine what giving options may be appropriate for your circumstances.

As we continue to see progress on the renovations at St. Anastasia, we are reminded that this project is about more than updating our church building. It is an investment in the future of our parish and the generations who will worship, pray, and grow in faith here.

Please join us in praying for the continued success of our capital campaign, for everyone involved in the project, and for the future of our St. Anastasia Catholic Community.

Thank you for your continued prayers, generosity, and support as we work to create a welcoming space for generations to come.

Why are we raising an additional $308,000?
The $308,000 represents the remaining fundraising goal for Phase 3 of our Capital Campaign. This final phase is part of our planned improvements to St. Anastasia, with a projected investment of approximately $1.1 million. Reaching this goal will allow us to complete the improvements while preserving parish reserves for future needs.

Were these improvements part of the original plan?
Yes. Phase 3 represents the final portion of the improvements identified as part of our Capital Campaign. The campaign was designed to move forward in phases, allowing us to make progress while responsibly managing parish resources.

Has construction cost affected the campaign?
Like many construction projects, our campaign has experienced significant changes in the economic environment since planning began. Construction costs have increased substantially, and we also navigated the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these circumstances, we successfully completed the first two phases of our campaign, thanks to the continued generosity of our parishioners.

Does the parish have funds available to complete Phase 3?
Yes. The parish has reserves available to support the project. However, our goal is to raise the remaining $308,000 through campaign contributions so that we can preserve those reserves for future parish needs and unforeseen expenses.

If I’ve already made a pledge, am I being asked to give again?
First and foremost, thank you for your generosity! Your support has made our progress possible. If you are able, we invite you to consider extending your current pledge for an additional six months or making an additional contribution. There is no obligation, and every gift is appreciated.

Can I make a one-time gift instead of a pledge?
Absolutely. One-time contributions are welcome and can be made online, mailed, or dropped off at the Parish Office, or included in the Sunday collection in an envelope marked “Capital Campaign.”

Who should I contact with questions about my pledge? Please contact Brittany at the Parish Office. She can help answer questions about your current contributions or assist you with extending your pledge.
