    I direct the EF Schola at St. Sebastian's Akron, basically doing the gig you're looking for. Look me up when you get to town.
    I don't think you're going to find a gig in an EF church in this diocese that pays commensurate with your experience. Your chances as general DM in a Catholic church are much better, and it would be possible to move them in a more traditional way or start another TLM (though I'd say the community is fairly saturated.) I can steer you to the various TLM communities so you can get a feel for the lay of the land. Good luck to you; we need a LOT more good people around here.

    Bobby, that was the first place I started as well. Here's hope something opens up.

    Jeffery, thanks for the info. I will do.

    Prayers are appreciated!
