Peggy Hill Rosales- Austin

Peggy is a member St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic Church, Austin, and is a charter member of Court Our Lady Queen of Apostles, #2391, Austin, instituted in 1994. She served her court in the offices of Vice Regent and Regent.

She was appointed as District Deputy District #7 1998-2002; and District Deputy for Districts #7 and #44 2002-2005. She was appointed State Convention Chairman for the 2005 State Convention, Austin.

She received one of the 2005 Top-5 District Deputy awards and a 2009 State Regents Award. Peggy was elected State Treasurer 2005-2007; State Secretary 2007-2009; Second Vice State Regent 2009-2011; First Vice State Regent 2011-2013; and State Regent 2013-2015 at the 2013 State Convention in San Antonio. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 was the theme of her term as State Regent.

When asked for a highlight of her term, Peggy replied (2015); “There isn’t ‘one’ moment, there are many! Building a Habitat for Humanity house is such a rewarding experience, and it was God’s plan, not ours. One significant memory was the day we started the framing; in three hours we had the entire outside framed up and were working on interior walls. The homeowner-to-be drove up, got out of his car, and just stood there; it was clearly evident to him that his house was becoming a reality! My eyes teared up, I had a lump in my throat, and I knew at that exact moment what he was feeling!

Officer training brought many great memories; it’s our chance as state officers to help newly elected local court officers comprehend the duties of their office, and we meet members we hadn’t known. We would leave hoping that we had passed on the necessary information needed, but the gift of friendship and CDA sisterhood is the blessing I took back with me.”

Peggy and her husband George were married in 1983. They have one daughter who attends the University of Iowa. Peggy enjoys traveling, hiking, camping, and spending time with family and friends.
