Operations Manager

Operations Manager Opportunity at St. Joseph Catholic Parish – Golden, Colorado

St. Joseph Catholic Parish is a warm, welcoming faith community of approximately 650 families nestled in the beautiful foothills of Golden, Colorado. We are a place where faith is lived daily through vibrant worship, active parish ministries, religious education programs, and joyful fellowship. Our historic parish (founded in 1867) serves the city of Golden and surrounding areas and is a member of the Archdiocese of Denver.

We are seeking a dedicated and faith-filled Business Manager to support our Pastor and parish staff in stewarding our resources and ensuring our facilities and operations run smoothly. This role is part-time on its own, but if you bring the additional experience and skills necessary to also handle Operations Management, it can become a full-time position with greater scope and impact.
