I wanted to be in the city proper the church I am at now is a 10 minute drive away. I don't like winter driving... I am just not sure if they can wait for me until I finish the other church job if  they would like  to get me onboard. I love the Catholic liturgy I quite enjoyed my year  in a Catholic parish... I think I am going to contact priest on Monday...

I think part of Sheila's problem is a fear of winter driving. I'm from Chicago, I know how to drive in snow. I would rejoice if all my organ gigs were 10 minutes away. I just drove 109 miles each way for a generous wedding. Usually it is well under 50 miles; although another time it was 75 miles each way. Maybe our Canadian listsubs can provide Sheila some practical suggestions--including trial runs to the venue. One suggestion is to take a friend along for the ride. You can have a nice lunch or coffee at church or in the neighborhood.
