St. Mary Parish, Big Rapids

DIRECTOR OF MINISTRIES AND MUSIC

St. Mary’s Church, located in Big Rapids, Michigan, seeks a person to fill the newly formed position of Director of Ministries and Music. Applicants can send their resumes via e-mail:

The Search Committee
St. Mary’s Church
1009 Marion Ave
Big Rapids, MI 49307
Email: fatherlam@charterinternet.com
or via fax (231) 796 9231

This position requires, beside good people skills, a commitment to the Catholic faith, management experience in ministries, musical skill such as organizing choir, conducting rehearsals, playing piano and organ, and directing choir during the liturgies, working with our catholic school to develop a musical program for our children; B.A in Liturgical Music or its equivalent is minimum requirement; an M.A. (or its equivalent) in pastoral studies or theology highly recommended.

The Director of Ministries and Music is full-time. Salary is negotiable based on experience and background; benefits are also offered. In addition, the parish’s vacant convent house can be used for housing, and can be negotiated as part of the salary.

St. Mary serves Catholics and the community in the city of Big Rapids and its surrounding area since 1878. Currently, there are over 300 registered families within the parish. We have a K-8 Catholic school which celebrates 125 years of quality Catholic education this year. Since 2003, St. Mary shares the same pastor with another parish within the city, St. Paul Campus Parish, near the Ferris State University campus, and thus a new phrase of collaborations and sharing ministries between the two parishes has begun.
