  • #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.
  • The next time I try to be helpful and post job openings, would someone just shoot me?

    Thanks.

    If I'm a priest, Te Deum's comments would REALLY make me want to post my job listing here.

    Really, can we PLEASE not shoot this in the foot?
  • 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
