    I received an email telling me that I had the position. Immediately after sending a quick letter of thankis, I received another email saying that I did NOT have the position. At any rate - the position has been filled.

    This position was filled quite some time back in early November. Give thanks to God. Communication with the priest was a deplorable thing. On the eve of Thanksgiving, I received an email stating that I had been hired. So I returned the email with thanks, and suggested that the pastor and I talk after the Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving Day, I received the same email from him....(complete with the carots, signifying that this was a forwarded/copied letter). When I reread the entire letter, there had been a change added: that I didn't get the position. It was a gift from God to not be called into yet another parish where the priest had less than adequate communication skills (this was a fact brought out to me by several people at the parish.)

    In all seriousness, do they not take business classes in seminary? If not, they would be well served if they did.
    my 2.3 cents

    I agree, Christopher. However, I think he guys should also have to take mandatory liturgy, chant and music classes. Guess which four classes will never be used!
