    i can certainly tell you that the director and associate director of music there have done an incredable job of turning around what was a most unfortunate situation. they are fantastic people as well so working with them would be great. The cathedral is quite lovely. Lexington is a WONDERFUL place to live but the diocese until reciently had major problems. the latin mass (at St. Peters) is doing rather well.
    I would hightly recommend anyone with an appreciation of doing lifeteen material well, to apply.

    A major conversion experience for me happened at that very cathedral. I had been hired as a timpanist (along with an orchestra) for the weekend Masses on the Feast of Christ the King in November of 2001. It was probably my first time inside a Catholic church. I had always regarded Catholics and their popish ways with a hostile suspicion (but of course I was willing to work for money!) I watched these Catholics as they walked in and did this strange ritual of kneeling and crossing themselves. Then during the consecration, (celebrant: Bishop Kendrick Williams) a nearly miraculous thing happened. As the bishop said, "...this is my body which will be given up for you,"he elevated the Host, and it was as though a voice spoke to me and said: "This could really be true! There might be some truth to this strange Catholic belief about 'Real Presence'." I was received into the Church on Easter 2003. Deo gratias! Anyway, I won't be applying for this job, but the posting reminded me. De
