St. Bart's is searching for a parish administrator. Their primary responsibilities include preparing bulletins, flyers, and the like, as well as handling communication for the parish.

The person should be proficient with Microsoft Office and the Adobe Suite. A keen attention to detail and an editorial eye are crucial to the role. Some knowledge of Episcopal liturgy (or a willingness to learn it quickly!) would be ideal.

We need someone for 8 hours a week. We are willing to discuss flexible hours. The initial pay rate will be $18/hour.

We'll accept applications (letter+resume) through Monday, February 23: [email protected].
