Rhea has been filling out numerous applications for teaching positions in London. Most of them have not been within Catholic schools for lack of openings. Her heart's desire is to be able to teach in a local Catholic school in London beginning this September. If all the readers could please pray that Rhea would find the place where God wants her to be, where she can have a strong witness for Christ and the Church in addition to teaching young people music, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your prayers and if any readers know of anything, please do not hesitate to let me know in a comment or email. She is a qualified teacher in America but needs Oversees Training Qualifications in the UK still. This is easily done on the job...Rhea's degree is in Music Education and performance on the clarinet. She can teach all instruments at a basic level and has taught young people up to grade 8 here in the UK. She presently teaches music for a Music Service as a peripatetic teacher.
With much thanks!

Of course!
Jeff, what are the geographical limitations? Do you know where you will be living?
Prayers assured!

I will pray... I'm job-hunting myself, and know how hard it can be.
However, Rhea might be better off in a non-Catholic school in the current climate: genuinely practising Catholics can find the "Catholic" Education system to be rather a dispiriting one - trust me, I've been through it! At least in a non-Catholic school the attitude is one of "Oh, you're a practising Catholic, ok, I guess that's what Catholics do" whereas in a Catholic school one is more likely to encounter "Well, I'm a Catholic and I don't believe/do that... are you trying to say you're a better Catholic than me?"
Good luck with it anyway!
Sending up prayers for Rhea. May God draw administrators and Rhea toward each other and may a job interview happen soon.
Thank you torculus.
