We have a need for people to commit to being at Adoration regularly for a specific hour. It does not need to be every week. Perhaps you can commit to a specific hour every other week, or once a month. Whatever your schedule, we would like to work with you! Call Char Pietrobon, Coletta Wortz, Patti Cogley, or the parish office if you have questions.
Adoration opens on Mondays at 5am, and closes on Fridays at 4:45pm. Please feel free to stop by anytime during the week to spend some time with Jesus.

Social Concerns Mission Statement
The mission of St. Anastasia’s Social Concerns Committee is to help the parish community reach out in loving service to others and work for justice in our society.
Common Cup Ministry
St. Anastasia & St. Boniface are members of Common Cup Ministry, a non-profit organization whose mission is to gather and share spiritual & financial resources of area churches into one “common cup” so that we may minister to those in need. Common Cup Ministry currently consists of 30 member churches, 26 volunteers, an 8 member Board of Directors, and a Representative Council.
Please consider assisting CCM in one of our project areas such as: Coat Drive, Diaper Give-Away, Back to School Supply Program, PoPP-Provision of Personal Products, and Hunger-Free McLeod. Go to common-cup.org to learn more.
The Parish Tithing Fund exists to:
- Serve the financial, emotional and spiritual needy of St. Anastasia and the surrounding community by providing economic support to programs, whether internal or external to St. Anastasia, which address such needs
- Demonstrate giving back to God from our first fruits
