We are thrilled to introduce Ryan Kuester, our new Director of Faith Formation! Ryan brings a deep personal connection to Catholic education and a passion for nurturing faith in our community.
Ryan grew up in Glencoe, where he attended St. Pius X Catholic School through 6th grade before graduating from Glencoe/Silver Lake High School. He then pursued higher education at St. John’s University, earning his bachelor’s degree in psychology. His connection to St. Anastasia’s is strong; his family currently has one child attending St. A’s, and another who is now a middle schooler in the Hutchinson school district, having also attended our school.
Outside of his dedication to faith formation, Ryan enjoys spending quality time with his family, often found hiking, camping, or working together in their family garden.
Ryan is eager to serve our parish, working alongside our dedicated teachers, engaged parents, and most importantly, our students. He looks forward to continuing to focus on engaging and nurturing faith, upholding Catholic tradition, and guiding students toward lifelong discipleship.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Ryan via the Faith Formation email or stop by the parish office. He welcomes any questions, suggestions, or simply a friendly “hello” to introduce yourself!
