| Mission Statement
Our Mission:
To build a ministry offering spiritual, emotional and professional support and resources to assist in career development and transition.
About us:
Representatives from Catholic parishes in North Dallas have come together in response to the current unemployment crisis. Parishes within and beyond the North Dallas Deanery are working with Catholic Charities to develop the Catholic Career Development Community.
The group provides a resource website, including a job board with free resume posting, a calendar with training and development opportunities, parish networking, and spiritual and emotional support group opportunities.
If any parish is interested in participating, the planning committee meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 7:00pm in the St. Mark’s Community Center.
If you or someone you know is a hiring manager for your company, or you are willing to be a contact for job openings in your company, please contact Della Doss, or 972.727.1177 ext 2230 to post them on the website. We are always looking for new employment opportunities.
