Music Office Volunteer Opportunities

Music Office Receptionists
This is an occasional position. Although we may need a volunteer receptionist at any time during the year, the times when we most need a helping hand are the week following Christmas, a few weeks before our pre-Lenten concert Great Music for Great Cathedrals, and during Holy Week. The position consists of very light clerical work and phone answering.

Great Music for Great Cathedrals
Great Music couldn't happen if it wasn't for hundreds of volunteers who generously give their time. Many are veteran volunteers who have been with the program since the very beginning. Every year we look forward to new volunteers joining our ranks, learning, having fun, and enjoying the fellowship of a dedicated group of parishioners and community folk.
