Overview
St. Mary of Sorrows parish is seeking an experienced choir director and organist to assume the role of Director of Sacred Music (DSM). This is a full-time position with benefits through the Arlington Diocese.
Duties include direction and coordination of the adult choir, children’s choir, and cantors, as well as the hiring of organists and instrumentalists for certain holy days and Masses. The organ is a four manual Rodgers Infinity with lighted draw knobs.
