The Holy Name Society was one of the first organizations to be established when St. Anastasia became a parish. Although a group devoted to the spiritual formation of the men of the parish, the Holy Name Society is also involved in social activities, such as golf outings, ball games and the parish picnic.

Community outreach is a large part of the Holy Name activities, including ecumenical efforts like assisting in the Salvation Army's Christmas collection programs. In short, the Holy Name Society is basic to St. Anastasia parish.

While there have been lean times for the Society, over the years, the recent past has shown this to be a vibrant and integral part of the parish life. Because of the dedicated and forceful leadership of past-president, Pat Clyne, the Holy Name Society endured and continues to prospers.

The Holy Name Society meets periodically, hosts breakfast sessions that feature guest speakers, and host the annual Super Bowl Party for everyone in the parish.

Mission Statement: The apostolate of the society is to assist in parish ministries by performing the Corporal Works of Mercy: to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, give drink to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless, tend the sick, visit those in prison, and bury the dead; as well as the Spiritual Works of Mercy: to convert sinners, instruct the ignorant, counsel the wayward, comfort the sorrowing, bear adversity patiently, forgive offenses, and pray for the living and the dead.

Growing out of the early Sanctuary Society in the beginning years of the parish, the Women's Club has become a moving course at the church. When the parish was first founded, the group worked to provide money to build the first church/school building. The oldest service/religious organization with a continuous history, the Women's Club responds to each need seen, sponsoring activities, and operating as the host group for many functions in the parish. Members of the Women's Club have long been and continue to be the founders and functionaries of many of St. Anastasia's vital activities. Monthly meetings serve to inform and strengthen its membership and purpose.
