with the Principal of our Catholic School to form students in kindergarten through eighth grade
in basic vocal music skills using liturgical music as a medium. The Director is an integral member
of the parish staff, who understands the crucial role that music plays in supporting the liturgy.
This individual is also an integral member of the parish community that shares in the
responsibility of evangelization and in bringing people into a growing relationship with Christ.

About Our Parish

Saints Mary & Mathias is an 800-900 family Roman Catholic parish, with a Catholic school that
serves 220 students in grades K-8. We like to sing, and we appreciate the role that good music
plays in the liturgy. We are looking for a musician who understands how music elevates the
liturgy and helps people grow as committed disciples of Christ, and someone who is excited to
help our parishioners share their gifts.

Our music ministry includes cantors (youth and adults), accompanists (piano, organ), an Adult
Choir, a Middle School Liturgical Choir, and a Chant Schola. We currently use Source & Summit
Missal and Gather Third Edition as our primary music resources.
