On a bit of a rant tonight....
For the third time in nine months, a Catholic church has expressed interest in me and has subsequently stopped communicating.
The first found someone while the administrator was away for a month. Met with the administrator as scheduled - who, after half an hour, told me the position had been filled.
The second was the administrator's second in a different parish, who never called back. Both the first and second are from different cultures and English is their second language. (BTW, played for second at a funeral - church was unlocked 25 minutes prior. Need I say more?)
The third cancelled a meeting set up two weeks' prior (Funeral Mass conflict). I've made four phone calls in two days (no church should be without music) - either I'm just unlucky, or the secretary is stonewalling me.
Is music really this unimportant to priests? How cavalier can they be?
So glad to have a steady Sunday gig in a Protestant church. Perhaps I'll be better served with a Saturday night lounge gig.
