Music Minister/Director/Musician [Part Time]
St. John the Evangelist Parish, 7121 Plainfield Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45236
Job InformationSeeking Part Time Music Minister/Director/Musician to oversee the Parish Liturgical Music Program. Applicant should be a practicing Catholic, and have prior liturgical experience. Primary responsibilities include but not limited to: providing music for the 3 weekend Masses, Holy Week Services, Sacramental Masses/Services, Weddings & Funerals when available.
St. John Parish is small but mighty and deeply committed to active participation in the Liturgy and its Ministries. The choir is a generous size (16-20) based on the parish number of families. With their numbers and talent the choir easily fills the church with song but the congregation is also a “singing” people and not just quietly so that people in front of you can’t hear you, but joyfully singing out in praise to the Lord. Besides a fantastic volume, the choir enjoys being challenged with proper breathing, vocal technique, diction, phrasing, harmonies and dynamics.
St. John parish enjoys a variety of musical styles including chants, standard hymns and contemporary. There is an organ, a Casio digital piano and a Yamaha Clavinova digital ‘baby grand’. The Parish is accustomed to mostly piano accompaniment. We are an OCP Breaking Bread parish. The choir has copies of Choral Praise 3rd edition as well as the Navy Blue Gather Comprehensive First Edition.
Interested Candidates are asked to call the St. John the Evangelist Parish Office, 513-791-3238.
