Finding your next Minister

is OUR Ministry.

At St. Joseph Catholic Search, our foremost calling is to serve as ministers of the Gospel. Our mission is to support your ministry by helping you build the right team. We go beyond resumes to identify candidates who not only possess the necessary skills, but also a genuine heart for serving God’s people.

Every project we undertake is guided by our core mission: to serve the

Church by helping ministries build faithful, mission-driven teams.

We partner with Catholic parishes, dioceses, schools, and organizations across the country to support their leadership and staffing needs with discernment and care.

Our projects include:

Executive & Pastoral Leadership Searches
Recruiting for key leadership roles such as parish directors, principals, superintendents, and executive directors who lead with vision and a servant’s heart.

Ministry & Program Staffing
Sourcing youth ministers, directors of religious education, liturgical coordinators, and other essential staff who engage and form the faithful.

Catholic School Talent Placement
Helping Catholic schools find teachers and administrators who see education as both academic and spiritual formation.

Mission-Critical Interim Support
Providing guidance and temporary placement solutions when ministries face unexpected transitions or urgent leadership gaps.

Consulting for Strategic Hiring
Assisting Catholic organizations in clarifying roles, refining hiring processes, and discerning candidates who align with their mission and charism.

At every step, we go beyond the resume—seeking individuals with the

skills to lead and the heart to serve. Our goal is not just to fill positions, but

to strengthen the Body of Christ through faithful, capable leaders.
