Sacred Heart Parish in Winnetka, IL, a parish of approximately 1,100 families is currently seeking a full-time Director of Religious Education who will work together with the current Youth Minister to craft an innovative and creative approach to religious formation that relies less on textbooks and curricula, and more on building a strong personal relationship with Jesus Christ in our Catholic tradition.
