We are looking for a video producer to take over from Alan Christensen. At the beginning of the pandemic three years ago, Alan stepped up to put our Masses online. His superb work is the reason we have one of the best online worship experiences of any parish in the Archdiocese—and beyond. We’re profoundly grateful to him!
Alan’s stepping back from video production soon. Accordingly, we’ve posted the part-time Video Producer opening on the Archdiocesan Careers page: https://careers.archspm.org/job/video-producer
We’re also reaching out to area tech schools. If you know anyone with tech skills, please refer them to me. Alan is willing to help a new Producer take over.
