POSITION NARRATIVE
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Madison and the parish of St. Bernard are pleased to announce an opening for the position of Director of Sacred Music. This will be a combined position in which the candidate will serve at both the parish and diocesan levels in directing, executing and implementing a successful sacred music program.
St. Bernard Parish is a parish of approximately 600 families, located in the Schenk-Atwood neighborhood of east Madison, Wis. Founded in 1906, the parish’s current cruciform church was completed in 1926, and will celebrate its 100th anniversary in a few years. The parish is located in a dynamic and rapidly changing part of the city. Younger families are beginning to call St. Bernard their spiritual home, thanks to our commitment to beautiful liturgy and our love for sacred music.
Under the direction of our previous director, we have embraced an opportunity to bring two historical and beautiful instruments to St. Bernard. In the fall of 2023, the parish will welcome the arrival of E.M. Skinner Opus 265 and E.M. Skinner Opus 738. Opus 265 is a pre-World War I vintage pipe organ consisting of 50 ranks. It is entirely original, and is currently being restored alongside opus 738 by the Quimby Pipe Organ Company in Warrensburg, Mo. Opus 738 is a 10-rank organ. The successful candidate will embrace these instruments and play them to their true potential as we continue to build upon our foundation of liturgy and sacred music.
The Diocese of Madison was erected on December 22, 1945, and consists of 11 counties throughout south-central and southwest Wisconsin. The Diocese is home to almost 300,000 Catholics. Bishop Donald J. Hying is the fifth bishop of the Diocese. The diocesan headquarters are located at Holy Name Heights, the once former home of Holy Name Seminary, which formed young men to consider a priestly vocation. Located inside the oratory is the newly restored Aeolian-Skinner Opus 1204.
St. Bernard has a 25-voice SATB choir. The Diocese of Madison welcomes men and women from across the diocese to form the diocesan choir, consisting of approximately 45 SATB voices.
