Meet the Staff of First Baptist Church of Kennett Square!Monica Fragale – Administrative Assistant
Monica Fragale joined the FBC family in March 2015 as its part-time administrative assistant. A lifelong Episcopalian married to a lifelong Catholic, Monica soon found her workplace home — and her spiritual home — at First Baptist.
God had his hand in bringing her here, as it was an online posting that first caught her attention for the job. Its location (very close to her home), the job description (a chance to use her talents for something different), and the people (so very welcoming) made the decision an easy one.
Monica spent the first half of her career working as a reporter and editor with various newspapers, and the next half working for non-profit organizations. This job offered the opportunity to use all her past experience in a way that would help other people, and it has been a joy assisting the church and its members in their mission.
Monica is married to Barry, a lifelong Kennett Square resident, and they have two daughters, Mia and Emilie.
Emilie’s Girl Scout troop started meeting at FBC in the fall of 2016.
