We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove application instructions lines like "Send applications or inquiries to: chelsea@strosefamily.org" and "Apply by Email". Also remove privacy warning, terms of service, report listing, similar job listings, etc. Keep substantive info: Introduction, Primary Duties And Responsibilities (with subpoints), Qualifications And Expectations, Working Environment, About The Employer maybe. Also maybe "Position Title: Director of Evangelization Status: Full-time, Exempt, 12 months Reports to: Pastor" - but we shouldn't repeat job title as heading; we can include that info in a paragraph maybe. However "Position Title:" is metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with position title, status, reports to. But we should not repeat the job title as a heading. It's okay to have it in a paragraph.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe Introduction), Responsibilities (Primary Duties And Responsibilities), Qualifications (Qualifications And Expectations), Working Environment, About the Employer (maybe as About the Employer). Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if present. The posting mentions Base Pay Salary but no amount; it's just "Base Pay Salary" with no value. That's placeholder; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. No benefits listed. No schedule specifics besides "Frequent evening, weekend, and occasional off-site work is required." That's schedule info; we could include a Schedule section with that detail. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state schedule info: "Frequent evening, weekend, and occasional off-site work is required." That's specific enough. So we can have a Schedule section with that sentence.
Also "Working Environment" includes travel etc. That could be its own section.
We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we should list each duty as
- . For qualifications list each as
- . For schedule maybe just a paragraph.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting.
Let's extract content:

We must not include application instructions lines. Also remove "Send applications or inquiries to: chelsea@strosefamily.org" etc. Also remove "About The Employer" maybe we keep as section.
We need to decide headings: Could use "About the role" for introduction? Or "Introduction". The instruction: use

For intro we could use "About the role". For duties: "Responsibilities". For qualifications: "Qualifications". For working environment maybe "Working Environment" not in list but we could still use heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive; we can still use other headings? Probably better to stick to those examples; but we have content like Working Environment and About The Employer. Could we fold Working Environment into Responsibilities or Qualifications? It's distinct. Could we use "Requirements" for working environment? Not ideal. Maybe we can create a section "Working Environment" as heading; the instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those or others; it's just examples. So we can use headings like "Working Environment" and "About the Employer". That's fine.
We must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not.
We'll output HTML fragment with sections.

- Job Description Director of Evangelization St. Rose of Lima Family of Parishes St. Bernard St. Charles St. Joseph St. Raphael St. Teresa Clark County, Ohio
We didn't include the list of parishes after the title. Should we include that? It's part of job description location. Could be included in About the role paragraph or as a separate sentence. The intro paragraph we wrote didn't mention the parishes. We should include that info: "St. Rose of Lima Family of Parishes St. Bernard St. Charles St. Joseph St. Raphael St. Teresa Clark County, Ohio". That is substantive. We can add a sentence after introduction: "The position serves the St. Rose of Lima Family of Parishes, which includes St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Joseph, St. Raphael, and St. Teresa in Clark County, Ohio." But we already have Working Environment bullet about serving all five churches and travel between parish locations. That covers serving all five churches. However the specific names are not mentioned elsewhere. We should preserve them. Could add to About the role paragraph: "The St. Rose Family of Parishes is seeking ... The Family of Parishes consists of St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Joseph, St. Raphael, and St. Teresa in Clark County, Ohio." That preserves.
