Overview:

St. Mary of Sorrows parish is seeking an experienced choir director and organist to assume
the role of Director of Sacred Music (DSM). This is a full time position with benefits
through the Arlington Diocese. Duties include direction and coordination of the adult
choir, children’s choir, and cantors, as well as the hiring of organists and instrumentalists
for certain holy days and Masses. The organ is a four manual Rodgers Infinity with lighted
draw knobs.

There are five sung Masses per weekend, four of which the DSM is expected to be the
primary organist/ director. The parish recently switched to the Source and Summit Missal
and digital platform, and is beginning to incorporate more traditional music such as chant
and sacred polyphony, while still utilizing quality hymnody. Heavy emphasis is placed on
growing the sacred music program and educating members and congregants. The DSM
reports directly to the pastor, who is very supportive of sacred music.
