Every Cloud….?
There's an increased demand for parish jobs in the Catholic Church, and its partly linked to the dire employment situation.
A total of 85 people applied for a post as Secretary in a north Co Dublin Catholic parish in recent weeks, a spokeswoman for the Dublin archdiocese has revealed. Such unprecedented interest meant there had to be two days of interviews before a candidate was selected.
Last year, following on from previous unexpected interest in such posts, 16 candidates were selected for training at the Mater Dei Institute in Dublin. They are to begin work in parishes of the archdiocese next June.
Successful candidates are being offered a salary ranging from €38,000 to €48,500, over seven increments, and are paid 70% of the starting salary during the one-year training period.
On completion of training they will be offered a three-year contract, as it is a pilot programme.
