Updated December 28, 2007

Hundreds of jobs -- professional, administrative, clerical, ministerial and even some secular -- are filled through NCR Classifieds each year. The more popular titles include campus ministers, chaplains, counselors, executive directors, liturgy/music ministers, superintendents, principals, teachers and youth ministers. NCR Classifieds are also your best sources for up-to-date information on retreats, sabbaticals, Spanish studies, educational programs -- all the categories listed on the right column.

Because NCR is a nonprofit organization, our advertising rates are lower than most national publications, and because the NCR Classifieds serve the non-profit community as well as the commercial sector, our pages have become the one-stop source for information in the Catholic world. To inquire about our rates or how to advertise, e-mail us. Please include a phone number and/or mailing address.
