Hooray! New post as organist!

[Musician]

I am so excited - I just started a new gig as the resident organist/pianist in a neighboring town. The church is actually a little cathedral and full of great statues, candles, paintings, etc. What is even greater is that the rector who hired me is a young priest who has brought back “smells and bells” and even -gasp! - some Latin chant to Mass every single Sunday!
Thank you, Lord…I have praying for a wonderful position like this to open up so I could make a living playing my heart out for a genuinely beautiful service regularly.
There is very little praise/worship stuff done…just a little sometimes during Communion. Mostly traditional stuff.
I feel blessed!

Yay! What a blessing, not only for you, but also for the parish.

Congratulations! As a fellow organist, I can appreciate how good it feels to be able to play for the Mass - the best place to share the gift God gave you.

God bless.

Congratulations!!! It’s so wonderful to hear for a fellow musician. I know how difficult it can sometimes be to find organist positions, especially in churches which has all that you describe. All the best to you and God bless!

Congratulations. Many years of happiness to follow for sure.

Today at the noon English OF, the organist played “O Salutaris Hostia.” I was most surprised that so many knew the words in Latin and sang with spirit. I hope your selection of songs pleases many.
