Illustrator - trying to type and or place text in a compound path

Ok peeps, here's what I am trying to do and I cannot seem to get a solid FUNCTIONAL answer.  I am trying to type or even copy and paste or place, text into a box shape, with a circle in the middle of the box.  Hence why I stated compound path.  I simply want to use area type tool and to get the text to fit in the box using text Justify with the last line justified left.  Hence all lines minus the last line end up be justified left and right in the bounding box area.  However every solution for the most part I can find online via magic GOOGLE answers.  I cannot seem to get a solid answer.  Let alone a working one.

Any help would be appreciated!
