About the role

The Archdiocese of Chicago invites a dedicated Director of Religious Education to lead parish faith formation for children and families from Kindergarten through Grade 8. You will shape catechesis, sacramental preparation, and liturgy planning in collaboration with clergy and staff. Responsibilities include directing a 300+ student program, recruiting and training catechists, managing budgets, calendars, communications, and ensuring best practices in faith formation across parish and school

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
