This September brings a momentous change to the Church of St. Michael and St. George. After more than 37 years of service to our church, 27 of them as our Parish Administrator, Carol Rosales is retiring. Carol started working at the church in 1983. Over all of these years, in every job she has had here, Carol has brought extraordinary commitment, care, wisdom, and elbow grease to this parish. Through thick and thin, good times and bad, she has stayed at it and not let the parish down. It has not been an easy job. She has juggled the finances, the personnel, the aging building, interfacing with the St. Michael School, and coping with the clergy with uncommon skill and even more dedication. She is patient, wise, and creative. All these years, Carol worked hard at her job so that each of the staff could do theirs. We are all here today in large part because of Carol’s exploits sustaining this parish.
Carol has often said to me, “I love the challenge of this job.”
As rector, I will miss Carol as I know we all will, but looking forward I am glad that she will be able to be fully present to her husband and family in the years to come. God bless you, Carol, and a profound thanks for all you have given The Church of St. Michael & St. George.
