EVENT CHAIRPERSON


Your family will receive 10 bonus participation points! 

For each event, we ask for several families to join together to assist with an event of their choice per year. This is not required, but super helpful for the success of our ministry. Each family will work with the Ministry Leaders and Evangelism Leader with coordinating and development of the event. And each family is expected to preside at the event meetings, give other ministry families opportunity to assist, and serve as the spokesperson by communicating the event needs to the Ministry Leaders. This chairperson can be a mom, dad, both mom & dad, grandma, whomever! The "family" will receive 10 bonus participation points for their event assistance. A family can only receive the 10 bonus points one time a calendar year.

MISSION STATEMENT

To provide opportunities for St. Anastasia parishioners, visitors, families and friends to encounter and deepen their ongoing relationship with Christ and Catholic traditions.

The St. Anastasia Friends & Family ministry provides special fellowship opportunities for families to get to know one another, have a safe place for our children to celebrate special religious holidays and traditions, and helps us grow in our relationship with Christ by centering all activities around our faith. The Friends & Family ministry seeks to create memorable and meaningful events that are faith-based for children to enjoy and learn from. Each month we offer a fellowship opportunity typically after mass. We hope you join our ministry and our fellowship events!


FOCUS STATEMENT

To support and encourage families in their faith walk, by incorporating spirituality, theology and prayer with fun while highlighting the beauty and truth of God, family and church traditions in each event celebrated by the ministry.
