Ministries of Creative / Specific Talents

Assist with planning the church decorations for the liturgical seasons.

Monitor and water plants and flowers inside the church.

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 2-3 times per year.  Recruit a team (or help fill a team), plan meal, shop for the food, prepare the meal, and serve the teens (approximately 40 people). Time commitment  2 hours on Sunday.  

This ministry will provide support to Moms & Dads with new babies and Seniors in need after a surgery or illness. We hope to provide each family 5 meals over a few weeks’ time. Meal Makers will be contacted via email each time a new meal train is set up. You can sign up to provide a meal as often as you are able. You can also remove yourself from the list at any time.

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.

We will assist a local church to support the new process for distribution for SOS (Lighthouse) in early 2024. Donations of specific food items are collected from the parish, boxed, and delivered.

We are looking for people to share their time and talents to help decorate for many of the events/activities we have here at St. Anastasia! We need volunteers who are willing to simply help put tablecloths & centerpieces on tables and volunteers who are willing to take the lead. Days and times vary. You may help as your schedule allows.

We are in need of someone who can lead our decorating team in transforming the Davidson Center to match our theme for the year.
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! 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) 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 and harvesting produce grown at home or on church property. In the summer, we need weeders, planters, & drivers to local shelters to deliver veggies (May-Sept.). This takes approximately one hour a week during the summer.

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, electrical assistance, etc. just to name a few things!
You can participate at your own skill level and on your own schedule. Contact Tom Crane, our Head of Maintenance.

This ministry creates knitted or crocheted scarves or shawls to comfort others. They meet once a month for fellowship and prayer at Faith@Work on the first Wednesday of the month during the school year from 10 AM - 12 PM or 7-8 PM. You may also drop off your creations at this time to the group.

Occasionally sew various materials to be used in church decorating.

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

If you would like to support a mom in need who is going through a challenging time in her life, we are accepting handmade fleece or cotton baby blankets/quilts (only) for local disbursement.  Gift cards to Target are also accepted. 

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 (3/30/24).

We are looking for people with one or more of the following skills: shooting occasional videos or pictures with a camera or cell phone; editing videos; using social media to help promote our events.
Must be organized, trustworthy, and able to take direction. This is a great ministry to be involved with if you need flexibility in scheduling your time.

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.
