Angel Simon Retires After 35 Years
In June, Priory colleagues said goodbye to a man who has been helping to build and support the Priory for 35 years. Mr. Angel Simon retired from the Business Office to enjoy what all who know him realize is his true love—fishing.
Angel arrived at the Priory in 1967 and began his career as a teacher. Over the years, he has held many different positions, all in service to the Benedictine community. Present colleagues of Angel know him for his sense of humor, loyalty to the Priory, and his kind and caring manner.
It isn't often that a school has the privilege of 35 years of service from someone of Angel’s caliber—we all feel blessed and fortunate to have spent time with Angel. With his departure goes another segment of a very rich Priory history—the dedicated friends of the monks who assisted them in bringing to reality their dream of creating this school.
To help preserve this history, we have named the small patio off the Father Christopher room in Angel’s honor and have placed there a plaque in recognition of his service. In the Priory tradition, he was presented with a rocking chair, which we hope he can somehow anchor to a boat!
We celebrate Angel's presence on this campus for over three decades and we wish him the very best. May God always hold him in the palm of His hand.
