#1 they don't respond to applications submitted, even after a follow up inquiry. #2 when I open a church website to their music page and see nothing but guitars, electric and otherwise, blue jean-wearing people with hands in the air and somebody beating on a spinet pyanee, there's a big problem. That may be exactly why it was open and filled not long ago and now open yet again.
Caviat....check things out VERY carefully here. Unless the pastor has changed his ways, this is not a parish for those who want to do lots of "high" church music and Gregorian Chant..... I worked with this guy in Odessa many years ago. Just chek into this before applying. You may contact me offlist if you wish: lorganiste@gmail.com
