Our parish was formed in 1959 and was elevated to the title of Cathedral in 1968 and dedicated in 1974.

Three venues were used in our advertising: catholicjobs.com, musicasacra.com, and National Pastoral Musicians.com. These were the same sources used successfully in the selection of our last Director of Music. The advertising is producing good interest, and to date, we now have 13 applicants for the position. The search team will meet Tuesday, February 3 to review all resumes, and any reference materials submitted by the applicants, in order to determine which would be the best possible fit for our Cathedral parish. Initial contacts will be made by the chairman of the search committee to determine the level of interest in the position and interviews by the search team will follow. Please keep the search for our Director of Music in your daily prayers.
