PARISH ORGANIST / DIRECTOR OF MUSIC [paid position]
We are the Roman Catholic Parish of the Sacred Heart in Penicuik and have just celebrated our 125th anniversary [1882-2007]. Our lady organist has served the parish faithfully for many years but would now like to share the duties perhaps on a rota basis with another organist. Our music at present is mainly congregational singing of traditional hymns [Hymns Old & New, Laudate and Glory and Praise] during Mass but we are keen to develop the singing of Mass parts and acclamations etc. The appointee would also assume responsibility for developing the repertoire of our small choir and indeed the whole congregation. We are also blessed with a small number of instrumentalists who provide accompaniment on occasion. Our week-end Masses are 6pm Saturdays and 10.30am on Sundays with other Masses and services according to seasonal and pastoral needs. Applications please to Fr John McInnes, Parish Priest on 01969673709 or e-mail paschpen@btinternet.com.
