Organist Position
Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church in downtown Columbus http://www.holycrosscatholic.com/ is now part of a cluster with Saint Joseph Cathedral. On June 1, the Cathedral Music office will take over responsibility for all musical events at Holy Cross, including all liturgical/musical planning and the printing of worship aids. The historic church is home to a 2-manual 1971 Roderer/Laukhuff tracker organ of 22 stops and 29 ranks.

The new organist will work closely with the Cathedral Music staff and the qualified candidate will have some opportunities to help at the Cathedral. The organist will also have responsibility for a small seasonal choir that meets for the Solemnity of the Holy Cross in September, for Christmas, and Holy Week. The position is paid on a per-event basis.

Interested organists should be comfortable with the neo-Baroque style organ and should be prepared to play a major Prelude and Fugue of J. S. Bach (a Trio Sonata movement would also be acceptable), an ornamented chorale prelude, and two hymns to be determined before the audition.
