 In the 1950s, R.P. Carbone was hired by the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland to build parochial schools and churches to meet the needs of a population moving to the newly emerging suburbs - with one of the biggest jobs the construction of the multimillion dollar Borromeo Seminary campus in Wickliffe. During this period, Rosario, sensitive to the discrimination he himself had suffered, sponsored the first minority individual for membership in the Bricklayer's Union. Two decades later the firm sponsored the first female in the local, and in the 1980s, the company began an internal minority training program. As a result of these ongoing efforts, the company was eventually honored by the city of Cleveland.
