Help Wanted

ORGANIST/DIRECTOR OF MUSIC MINISTRY
ST. PETER’S ERINDALE

The St. Peter's Organ

The parish of St. Peter’s Erindale is an inclusive, active, liturgically traditional Anglican community that incorporates a vibrant and thriving music ministry into our worship and our outreach. Before the pandemic the choir has been visiting Choir in Residence at Gloucester and Lincoln Cathedrals in England and also sang Evensong at St. George’s Chapel and Southwark Cathedral.

As a result of our Music Director leaving to pursue employment in another province, we are seeking an experienced and knowledgeable musician with a strong artistic vision to lead the music programs of our church. The Director will be responsible for the leadership and development of the Parish and Family choirs, coordination with the hand bell choir and the music librarian, and taking charge of our Casavant three manual, pipe organ.

We are looking for a person who has a passion for music; a good knowledge of Anglican traditions, both old and new; is a dynamic and committed leader; and will take our choirs to higher levels of musicality with a challenging program which incorporates various styles of music.

The time requirements are approximately 18-20 hours per week and we will work within the Royal Canadian College of Organists guidelines related to the pay grid.. The deadline for applications is June 16, 2023 and we hope to commence interviews for the position the beginning of July 2023.

Applications should include a CV and a cover letter describing how your interest, education and experience align with the position as well as two professional and one personal references with their contact information.

The successful candidate must pass all screening and responsible ministry training requirements of the Diocese of Toronto.

Please refer to the job description on St. Peter’s Erindale website and the Parish profile. If you are interested in considering this stimulating opportunity in a welcoming Christian community, please apply to:

News and Events

Worship Update

Recently, some liturgical changes have taken place at St. Peter’s, made in consultation with the Diocese of Toronto and the appropriate ministries at St. Peter’s to continue moving ahead in the safest ways we can. Some of the changes  include the procession and recession of the choir and chancel party during hymns, the small altar in front of the steps at 9:15am services, receiving communion at the altar rail at 8am and 11am services and the offering of the Common Cup.

We recognize that COVID-19 continues to impact our lives and particularly some of the most vulnerable groups among us. You are encouraged to remember that how you participate in worship is your own choice, and your choices may look different from others in our community. However, we continue on this journey together loving God and our neighbour in this holy time. If you have questions, please contact Rev. Roshni Jayawardena or Rev. Maria Nightingale.

Pandemic Precautions

Wearing masks indoors still is strongly recommended. If you feel ill, please attend an online service rather than in person. Thank you for serving God with your time and talent, and showing love for your neighbour by doing all you can to keep them healthy.
