Open thread: Friday Job Exchange

Sent in by an AmP reader:

I am a faithful Catholic working as an IT project manager at at a Catholic university in Chicago. We are looking to move away from Chicago in the fall due to a growing family and I am beginning to look for faithfully Catholic job positions that utilize some of my skills.

In addition to Catholic colleges or universities, where would you all recommend I look for a job that furthers the Catholic faith? I graduated from Notre Dame, I have an MBA, and a strong IT background.

Thanks in advance. Peter Prina  (pprina [at] alumni.nd.edu)
