Ministries of Creative / Specific Talents

Decorators bring their talents to the environment in which we worship. This ministry involves designing and decorating the worship space for major liturgical seasons: Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter and other special events such as Pentecost and Corpus Christi, assisting with the pastor’s vision. No special training is required- just an eye for design and/or a love of decorating.

Monitor and water plants and flowers inside the church, especially at Easter and Christmas.

Do you have a favorite cookie, brownie or dessert recipe you like to bake? Perhaps you wouldn’t mind picking up some fruit, veggies or cheese & crackers? Would you be willing to bake or bring something for a catechist meeting, sacrament receptions or other special parish gatherings? You make a difference! We will email (call) when the need arises, approximately 6 times a year – based on your availability.

Cook at B.A.S.I.C. Youth night.  Recruit a team (or help fill a team), plan meal, shop for the food (we pay for everything), prepare the meal, and serve the teens (approximately 20 people). Time commitment: Meal prep and dropping off the food on the first Sunday of the month at 5:45 pm.

There is a great need for food donations for the O.C.I.A. programs. We want to welcome our new members into the Church in a warm atmosphere filled with mentoring and sharing a light meal. We meet for 25+ weeks and would appreciate occasional or weekly food donations.

Help us celebrate the joy-filled occasion of welcoming the newest members to the Catholic Church! The Easter Vigil is on Saturday, March 27, 2027. A couple hours of set up (decorating) is needed on the Thursday prior (Holy Thursday, March 25) in the morning.

Help us make St. Anastasia's gatherings warm and welcoming! We're looking for volunteers who enjoy adding those special touches to our parish events and activities. Whether you'd like to simply help put out tablecloths and centerpieces or use your creativity to take the lead on decorating an event, there's a place for you! Days and times vary, and there's no ongoing commitment - help whenever your schedule allows.

We are in need of volunteers to decorate, run stations, lead a crew, clean up, and everything in between. More information will come out in late April / early May, but please sign up now if you are interested in helping and/or would like more information.

Do you enjoy being outside? Consider being a Garden Angel. Don’t know what a flower or a weed is? We will teach you! The time commitment can be tailored to a few hours once a year, monthly, or weekly. We need volunteers to help clean the flower beds in April/May and plant flowers in late May/early June. We need the most help to maintain an assigned flower bed (this involves once a week weeding on your own schedule) throughout the summer. You can also help water the containers throughout the summer. You would pick a week to water containers 3-5 times depending on the weather. If you are interested in helping or would like more information, contact Carol.

Help feed the poor by planting, harvesting & watering the produce grown at home or on church property. In the summer, we need weeders, planters, & drivers to local shelters to deliver veggies (June-Sept.). This takes less than one hour a week during the summer and is on a rotating schedule.

We have a very large & beautiful campus to keep up with! Our church home is in constant need of various maintenance tasks including: repairs, painting, plumbing, general maintenance, outdoor spring and fall cleaning, washing of windows, room set ups for activities, electrical assistance, etc. just to name a few things! You can participate at your own skill level and on your own schedule. Contact Mike Webber, our Head of Maintenance.

This ministry creates knitted or crocheted scarves or shawls to comfort others. They meet once a month on the first Wednesday of the month during the school year from 10 AM - 12 PM and 6:30-8 PM. You may join the group or drop off your creations to the Parish Office.

Occasionally sew various materials to be used either by the people entering the church at Easter- new baptismal gowns, making new purificators for the liturgy or linens for the altar.

Sew the white garment for infant baptism from a simple pattern. Materials provided.

You will be asked to send letters of encouragement and prayer to families who have lost a loved one for a period of one year. Notes are sent quarterly. You will be on a rotation list and would most likely receive about 4—5 addresses a year. High school age and above welcome!

We have an active parish! Do you have a knack for capturing the best moments? We are looking for people who are willing to capture the best moments at whatever event or activity they are attending and submit the photos.

Several experienced adult photographers are needed as volunteers to capture group shots and individual portraits at our Confirmation and First Eucharist Masses in early May, and the Easter Vigil (March 27, 2027).

Help St. Anastasia share the life of our parish and extend our welcome beyond our doors! We are looking for volunteers who enjoy social media, photography, video or digital communication to help tell our parish story and invite others into greater connection with Christ and our parish community.

Depending on your interests and skill, volunteers may help by: Capturing & Creating Content (Attend occasional parish events to take photos and short videos, then select and edit your best content into finished, ready-to-use material for Facebook and Instagram.) Volunteers should be dependable, comfortable with the area in which they are serving, and able to follow parish guidelines and direction for parish staff. Scheduling is flexible. There is no expectation to attend every event.

Are you a little tech-savvy and familiar with PowerPoint? This may be the perfect ministry for you! Simply arrive at the Mass you usually attend 15-20 minutes early and change slides as needed during Mass. Training provided. Flexible schedule.
