Dear friends:

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School in Houston, Texas is excited to announce a search for a Vocal Music Teacher. I began as Director of Music for the school in March. The person in this position and I together will teach music to students in Grades Pre-K through 8. The one behind all this is The Rev. Stephen Reynolds, whom many of you will know from his past ministry at St. Theresa, Sugarland. The official application should go through the Archdiocesan vacancy website below. Because that is a generic description, here is the more detailed description that I drew up. It is also not necessary to have a Texas teaching license. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to PM me.

Dr. Douglas O'Neill
