We are excited to start Phase Two of the Facilities Master Plan!

The first priority of Phase Two is remodeling the church/school kitchen and cafeteria. A bid has been accepted and the following contractors have been selected for the project: Breitbach Construction (general contractor), Foster Mechanical (mechanical), and Elrosa Electric (electrical). Kitchen equipment will be ordered as soon as possible and stored for future use.

We hope to start renovations in April 2024. The plan is for the kitchen/cafeteria to be closed starting in mid-April. We are currently working on a plan to serve lunch for the remaining weeks of school with lunch being served in the gym.

Major work includes: the removal of the present floor in the kitchen, asbestos removal in floor material, removal of several walls with additional beams placed to carry the load, new electrical work and lighting throughout the kitchen and cafeteria, fire suppression, new dish washing room and pantry, new cooler, and new wall and floor finishes.

Several Capital Campaign meetings are scheduled through November. We encourage you to attend a meeting if you’re interested in learning more. And we humbly ask you to consider making a generous gift to support the Capital Campaign fundraising efforts. The proposed changes for Phase Two will increase functionality of our school and parish gathering spaces, ensure that safety regulations are being met and elevate the aesthetics to a modern design.

We thank you for your support of this project and for our parish and school community!

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!
