Between 1953 and 1968 he was Director of Music in churches in Saint Paul, Tacoma and Seattle. From 1980 to 1994 he was Organist/Music Director at the Cathedral of the Holy Name in Chicago, where he did much to strengthen that cathedral's outreach to the cityby establishing an extensive and innovative music programme which quickly became a model for cathedrals across the country.
Richard Proulx is a published composer of more than three hundred works, including congregational music in every form, sacred and secular choral works, two operas, instrumental and organ music. He has served as a consultant for many recent hymnals. Currently working as a free-lance composer and conductor, he has also been an editorial consultant to GIA Publications and Augsburg Fortress.
In 1991, Richard Proulx founded The Cathedral Singers as an independent recording ensemble, and they have produced over fifteen CDs of choral music. He was named the 1995 Pastoral Musician of the Year by the National Association of Pastoral Musicians.

Since its publication in 1971 and revision in 1977, A Community Mass has become a staple for many parishes in the USA. Due to its wide use and inclusion in various denominational hymnals, Proulx has periodically created additional material and new instrumentations, often at the request of colleagues. In order to incorporate these additions the Mass has been newly edited and engraved. Some of the new features include an optional festive organ accompaniment and SATB harmonizations for the Sanctus, a second setting of the Lamb of God, and all four versions of the memorial acclamation have been set. The full score with all instrumental parts is now available as well.
These enrichments have made A Community Mass adaptable to a variety of circumstances and forces—from cantor, assembly, and organ to performances by choir and assembly with small or large instrumental ensembles in addition to organ.
