Priest Chaplain, Bishop Blanchet High School (Seattle, WA)
- Posted: March 30, 2023
Bishop Blanchet is a Catholic, college preparatory high school established by the Archbishop of Seattle. Rooted in Gospel Values, we educate students within a challenging, positive and diverse learning environment. We inspire students to transform the world around them through a lifelong commitment to faith, scholarship and service.
School Background and Position Overview:
Founded in 1954, Bishop Blanchet High School (BBHS) is a community of approximately 940 students, 125 faculty and staff, and over 15,000 alumni. As an Archdiocesan high school located in north Seattle, BBHS is blessed by dozens of local Catholic grade schools and parishes – as well as many families in public and private schools seeking a Catholic high school education. The result is a student body that is currently 72% Catholic and 28% of other faith backgrounds.
On their spiritual journey through Bishop Blanchet, all students complete four years of coursework in Theology, participate in annual service commitments and retreats designed for all grade levels, and assemble for regular experiences of liturgy and prayer in all-school and other smaller settings. We seek a full-time priest chaplain to deepen our ministry in all of these areas working most closely with school administration, a five member campus ministry team, a ten member Theology department, and many other faculty, staff, coaches and moderators.
At Bishop Blanchet High School we strive to embody the example of Jesus Christ and live out Gospel Values by employing empathy, finding dignity in all people, fostering a true sense of community, and calling everyone to seek their unique, God-given potential. The ideal priest chaplain would have experience working with high school aged students – embodying the “accompaniment” model encouraged by Pope Francis – meeting young adults where they are and walking with them on their spiritual journey to deepen their understanding of God’s love for them and their call to bring His love to all of creation.
A priest chaplain will be instrumental in our work to engage Catholic students toward a more mature and lived experience of their faith and, at the same time, engage all students, regardless of faith background, with an invitation to move deeper into their spiritual growth through a connection to God’s love, the example of Christ in the Gospel, and the rituals and traditions of our Catholic faith.
As described in the essential functions of the position below, we seek a priest chaplain to celebrate the Sacraments, ensure Catholic identity, teach Theology, and provide spiritual and pastoral formation to our community.
Essential Functions:
- In collaboration with the President, Principal, and Director of Campus Ministry, ensure that the Catholic mission and identity of the school is sustained and continuously strengthened.
- Serves as member of the Campus Ministry team led by the Director of Campus Ministry.
- Participates in the planning of and presides at school liturgies and sacramental celebrations. This includes regular weekly/daily masses; periodic all school gatherings; athletic events and athletic prayer/chapel; student activities; retreat liturgies and faculty in-service masses.
- Engages and involves students in the preparation of liturgies, retreats, and service programs. Supports student and faculty retreat preparation by working with retreat teams to develop talks, prayers, liturgies, and programming.
- Teaches 1-2 classes per semester in the Theology Department and supports sacramental preparation and other lessons across the department (e.g. Sacrament of Reconciliation, vocations).

Principal, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School (Fairfield, CT)
- Posted: February 2, 2023
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School is located in Fairfield, Connecticut, between the cities of Bridgeport and Stamford. Fairfield has more than 59,000 residents but maintains a small-town feeling–diverse neighborhoods with their own character and flair, and many active civic associations. Beaches, marinas, parks, open space, and plenty of shopping and fine dining, all within 50 miles of New York City, make Fairfield a top community in the Northeast.
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School was built in 1921. The original building is a three storied structure now housing our Grades 1-4, as well as our art room, computer lab, and faculty room. The next addition, which was built in 1955, was a single story addition now housing the Pre-K, Kindergarten, Grades 5-6, Library Media Center, Science lab, and the school offices. In 2000, the parish of St. Thomas Aquinas had a major capital campaign and built a gymnasium, multipurpose room and middle school classrooms. In the fall of 2006, the parish and school of St. Thomas Aquinas had a capital campaign called “Growing to Greatness’: In 2007, a state-of-the-art Science lab was built in the summer, and a new playground with climbing wall was installed in the spring. The school also has a state of the art computer lab. In addition, the new library-media center opened in the spring of 2009. The library-media center has a positive impact on the opportunities the students have to find and use information wisely, master technology skills, think critically, and learn independently. The facilities are continually undergoing improvements, modernizing, and changing with the support of our active parish and parent population.
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School is a fully accredited elementary/middle school with approximately 325 students in Pre-K through 8th grade. The school provides an
environment rich in academic, spiritual and emotional learning. The school day begins at 7:50 a.m. and ends at 2:10 p.m.
The curriculum consists of a basic course load designed to provide an effective foundation for higher learning. With a strong focus on language arts, math, and science, the curriculum also integrates religion, humanities, history, and foreign languages into the daily routine. In addition, physical education, art, and computer science classes are spread throughout the week. Upper grades are departmentalized, with an advanced track in the math department. Kindergarten students participate in a full school day comprised of a highly successful phonics based pre-reading program, an introduction to math concepts, simple science units, field trips, music, art, and religious education. Kindergartners are promoted to first grade with a high level of reading readiness. In recent standardized tests, including the Iowa Skill Tests, our students scored well above the national average. St. Thomas Aquinas graduates are accepted and excel at the most respected high schools in the area, including: Convent of the Sacred Heart, Fairfield Prep, Greens Farm Academy, Hopkins, Lauralton Hall, Notre Dame of Fairfield, Notre Dame of West Haven, Regis, St. Joseph High School, and Sacred Heart Academy.
The St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School Principal is the leader of the school and is appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport, reports to the Superintendent of Schools and works collaboratively with the Pastor, School Advisory Board, (SAB) and Home School Association, (HSA). The highest priority of the Principal is the building of a Christian community of faith that provides for the spiritual, moral, educational, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical needs of the students in the school.

Principal, St. Catherine of Siena School (Trumbull, CT)
- Posted: February 2, 2023
Founded in 1965, St. Catherine of Siena School has been successfully shaping the lives of young children from preschool through middle school, for many years. SCSS is
purposefully a small school, fostering close personal connections between students and their peers and students and the adult role models. The faculty is intentional in
the ways that they work with children to build a sense of community and to help them understand their role within this Catholic community.
Today a faith based curriculum is the foundation for the school’s academic excellence, complemented with state-of-the-art instructional technology as well as advanced science and math programming. Consistent with other Catholic schools in Fairfield County with US Department of Education Blue Ribbon designation, the school’s academic program includes curriculum mapping, differentiated instruction, and ongoing faculty professional development to ensure students continue to meet and exceed state proficiency tests in reading and math. We continue to actively work on its mission and rigorous curriculum that is designed to support the needs of 21stcentury students.
One of the major innovations that we have embraced in our educational mission is the use of “personalized blended learning.” Simply put, this model blends traditional classroom instruction with an online diagnostic set of tools that allow teachers to understand the mechanics of how each student learns (personalized approach), allowing the teacher to give direct assistance in those areas that a student may find challenging, all the while allowing the same student to excel in areas that he or she can understand easily.
SCSS encourages the children to develop their unique gifts and talents intellectually, physically, and spiritually. They build upon their individual strengths, basic skills, and knowledge to help each child reach their potential. In addition to the curriculum, the academic week is enriched by classes in world language, art, music, and physical education. They begin every day with prayer, attend Mass together regularly, and provide opportunities for classes to engage in prayer services.
In all grade levels, students develop knowledge of Sacred Scripture, Sacraments, Catholic Doctrine, Liturgy and Worship. Students learn firsthand how to live a life of service to God by participating in school wide community service projects that extend to organizations as well as the greater global community.
The St. Catherine of Siena School Principal is the leader of the school and is appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport, reports to the Superintendent of Schools and works collaboratively with the Pastor, School Advisory Board (SAB), and Home School Association (HSA). The highest priority of the Principal is the building of a Catholic community of faith that provides for the spiritual, moral, educational, intellectual, aesthetical, emotional, social, and physical needs of the students in the school.
