HOLY SPIRIT CATHOLIC CHURCH
Full-Time Organist - Choir Master
The Church of the Holy Spirit, a Roman Catholic parish in Louisville,
Kentucky, has an opening for a full-time Organist - Choir Master.
Holy Spirit, a suburban parish with a thriving school, worships with
an organ- and choir-driven repertoire complemented by frequent
use of the piano. The parish strives for excellence in a range of
styles with particular emphasis on the Church’s treasury of sacred
music.

The Church of the Holy Spirit has significant musical assets. Its
choir loft boasts a three-manual, 34-rank Schantz pipe organ,
Opus 1947. (Specific information about the organ can be found
on the database of the Organ Historical Society.) The list of other
instruments includes a grand piano, a Yamaha keyboard, four
octaves of handbells, and several percussion instruments. The
parish maintains a large music library, and the music budget
affords the opportunity to hire cantors, section leaders, and
instrumentalists.

“Fit” is more important than degree level, and previous experience
will certainly play a role in the decision-making process. The
successful candidate will likely possess a master’s degree in music,
but those with bachelor’s or doctoral degrees are encouraged to
apply.

The parish offers a competitive salary accompanied by a
comprehensive benefits package, including medical insurance, a
matching 401(k), and funds for continuing education.

Posting at the request of the pastor who happens to be visiting our parish this weekend to see some friends; he is a very amiable priest and, at least from what I can tell, is looking for someone who is on the more traditional end of the spectrum who is still willing to leave a little wiggle room for bringing the parish along slowly. That is to say, the occasional thing on piano, even if it's just prelude music once in a while. Middle-to-conservative, but trending toward the latter. The wage range is very livable.
