Parish personage (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vicar

(Other definitions for vicar that I've seen before include "Man (or woman) of the cloth" , "one brought in for service?" , "Goldsmith novel ''The . . . . . of Wakefield'' (5)" , "Man with a dog collar" , "Oliver Goldsmith wrote 'The . . . . . of Wakefield'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
