Episcopal Priest Opening
We are seeking a priest for a part-time (approximately 20 hours) position with a unique ecumenical community of
Episcopalians and Roman Catholics sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Southern
Virginia and the Catholic Diocese of Richmond.
Holy Apostles is in beautiful Virginia
Beach located in southeast Virginia at the Atlantic Ocean. This position offers a
generous part-time salary that is negotiable, with benefits and flexible hours.
Position Details:
You would
be expected to celebrate the Episcopal Holy Eucharist on Sundays during our “one
service, two liturgies” format which respects both traditions. Since we are an
ecumenical community with families from both traditions, we celebrate Roman Catholic
Mass followed by Episcopal Holy Eucharist each week during our one service.
You
would also be expected to meet weekly with our deacon who serves as the Roman
Catholic senior pastoral associate and co-administrator to help coordinate and plan activities and future needs.
Other
responsibilities include occasionally leading Bible Study and Christian Education and
meeting with members who are ill or in need of guidance.
We are a small community
but provide many and varied community outreach programs. We believe that we have
been an important living example of our Christian mission; "that all may be one;" over our
46 years.
If you are a priest who shares our ecumenical vision and appreciates the
uniqueness and challenges that our community provides, please consider this position. The position is open until filled, hopefully by 7/31/2024.
