There are some Archdiocesan policies that have been omitted here because they do not apply to students of this age (i.e. Archdiocesan policies related to the Catholic School’s Athletic League), but these policies are readily available upon request if you desire to review them. Some sections in this handbook have been left intentionally blank or brief to hold space for future policies as our school grows.

Despite the many challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are thrilled to be launching our school this year and opening many new classrooms and grade levels – it fills us with hope and joy to be expanding our Wellspring community and welcoming so many new students and families! Wellspring Catholic Academy of St. Bernadette carries on the proud educational legacy of St. Bernadette Catholic Church, begun in this community when the parish first opened the doors of St. Bernadette Catholic School in 1953. Our newly reimagined parish school, named for the healing spring in Lourdes, France, where Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette, builds upon our history and looks to our future, aspiring to become like the wellspring for which we are named – a fresh and abundant source of communal spirit, dynamic learning, spiritual vitality, and new life. We may be small, but we are mighty – a tenacious and inspired group of educators, parents, parishioners, and community members who hold an audacious vision for what a Catholic education can be. We are now one of only 4 Catholic EL (Expeditionary Learning) schools in the nation, and through our partnership with EL Education, we are redefining what Catholic education can be, forming young people to become the servant-leaders, the change-agents, and the mission-oriented disciples our world so greatly needs. As we undertake this work together, we could not be happier to have you in our crew, and as we continue to grow our new school and plan for our future, we welcome your voice and involvement throughout the process! As a student, parent, or member of this community, this handbook is for you. In this handbook, we lay out the policies and shared expectations to which we will adhere this year, and to which we expect all parents and students to adhere as members of this school and community. Through this handbook, we aim to provide clarity on and understanding of the policies and procedures of both Wellspring Catholic Academy of St. Bernadette and the Archdiocese of Denver. The rules and policies set forth here apply equally throughout the entire school complex. This includes playground, gym, church, cafeteria, and at any other location where students represent or are identified with Wellspring Catholic Academy of St. Bernadette. Principles of discipline that apply on school days and during normal school hours apply to the same degree during extracurricular and extended day activities. Wellspring Catholic Academy of St. Bernadette is a parish school, a ministry of St. Bernadette Catholic Church and under the management of St. Bernadette parish and pastor. Wellspring Catholic Academy of St. Bernadette is also an Archdiocesan Catholic School operated under the supervision of the Office of Catholic Schools of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Denver and is governed by the Archdiocesan Administrators’ Handbook. All teachers of Wellspring Catholic www.GoWellspring.org | [email protected] | 303-237-0401 | 1100 Upham St., Lakewood, CO 80214 | Page 3 Academy of St. Bernadette are degreed and/or licensed, or working toward licensure. All employees have been screened and been subject to a background check and have undergone training in the Virtus “Safe Environment/Call to Protect Training,” required by the Archdiocese of Denver. All volunteers at the school are also subject to background checks and must have attended the Virtus “Safe Environment/Call to Protect Training.” This is a mandatory training for all volunteers in any capacity at any Archdiocesan school. Remember that we are crew, not passengers… We are all in this work together, and we are partners in this important work of forming our children to become who God is calling them to be. Through prayer, communication, and trust, I know that we will have an amazing school year, and together, let us pray that God, who is with us in this good work, may help us to carry it through to completion.

Abstract Since the late 20th century information technology has changed the lives of individuals and relationships at local, nation and even global levels. In particular the internet is used by many religious groups for theological and spiritual purposes. Some parts of Christianity have confronted the issue of how to deal with the use of internet. As a result, an internet church has emerged, offering Eucharistic services online across the globe. Even though the numbers of internet churches/Eucharistic groups have sharply increased in the last two decades, the attitude of the established churches does not appear to have taken account of this change yet. To achieve this it is necessary for such initiatives to be guided by certain theological norms or church regulations. This may relate to the definition of church, Eucharistic theology, or how to deal with emerging cultures.

  • September 2018
    THE CATHOLIC MIRROR Vol. 52, No. 9 September 21, 2018 Bishop invites parishes, schools Students head back to school to pray, fast in September Bishop Richard Pates invited parishes and schools in the Diocese of Des Moines to set aside the four Fridays of September as special days for the faithful to enter into prayer and fasting in reparation for the sexual abuse of children. The bishop suggests parishes may bolster their prayer and fasting with Eucharistic adoration through a holy hour and penitential prayer service. He led a holy hour and penitential prayer service on Sept. 7 and Sept. 14 at St. Ambrose Cathedral. The call for these special days comes in response to Pope Francis’s Aug. 20 letter addressing the atrocities of abuse detailed in a Pennsylvania grand jury report. “The extent and the gravity of all that has happened requires coming to grips with this reality in a comprehensive and communal way,” wrote Pope Francis. “Today, we are challenged as the People of God to take on the pain of our brothers and sisters wounded in their flesh and in their spirit.” Students across the diocese headed back to school in August.

  • Final Report from the Abuse Response Team
    Abuse Response Team Final Report with Appendices * of work product for archival purposes May 15, 2021 In October of 2018, following the widely publicized Pennsylvania report of widespread clerical abuse and the exposure of Cardinal McCarrick’s abuse of seminarians and minors, Bishop Zarama offered a Mass of Reconciliation and facilitated Town Hall meetings which several STM laity were invited and in follow-up conveyed their responses to Father Scott. Father Scott offered STM Listening Sessions and received feedback from the parish. An Abuse Response Team was appointed by Father Scott to develop recommendations for our parish that were to respond to the ongoing crisis as we continued to see investigations concluded and reports released. (Appendix A1,2,3) This team was formed charged with exploring three primary areas: education, awareness and support. The group members are Cindy Neely (chair) Barbara Wasik, Kathy Roundtree, Joel Morgenlander, Marianne Mitchell, Deacon Stephen Yates, Adrienne Yates, Steve Caiola, Barbara Reynolds, Mary Ellen McQuire, Dick Hinson and Pat Grebe. The team initially engaged in a process of prayer, discussion and learning from other parishes that had formed active response teams. These processes within our team led to a graphic depiction of the Body of Christ walking from the darkness of the abuse scandal toward the light and defined our body of work to move forward. (Appendix A4) Four subgroups were formed: support/healing of victims, support/healing of the laity, education of the parish, and clericalism/clergy visibility. Each subgroup was charged with identifying the objectives to be accomplished and an action plan to accomplish the objectives.

Lay women and men are called to turn our anger and anguish toward finding a path forward that ensures protection, accountability, reform, and renewal. This report reflects one response to this call: the “National Convening on Lay Leadership for a Wounded Church and Divided Nation” organized by the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life and held June 14-15, 2019 at Georgetown University. The Convening drew together a diverse group of over 50 leaders from across the United States. They were heads of major Catholic institutions and ministries, university presidents, leaders of lay efforts to respond to the clergy sexual abuse crisis, victim- survivors, and leading journalists and scholars.

  • A Reason for Hope: the Diocese of Jackson's Commitment to Our Children
    A reason for hope: The Diocese of Jackson’s commitment to our children (released Sept. 7, 2018 in response to Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report. Updated March, 2019) The history of abuse in the church has had two key turning points – the adoption of the Charter for the Protection of children and young people in 2002 and the current work being done from the Vatican down to strengthen our response to abuse on every level of church hierarchy. Both of these turning points have come after the painful revelation that the church had not done enough. We have to be vigilant at all times. We must constantly renew our commitment, strengthen our policies and work in tandem with law enforcement to keep children and vulnerable adults safe in our parishes, schools and centers. The Diocese of Jackson has a plan and a team in place to prevent and to respond to allegations of sexual abuse against minors. The topic is a fresh wound in our Church since the release of a grand jury report out of Pennsylvania detailing a horrifying pattern of abuse and coverups in six dioceses in that state and revelations of years of abuse at the hands of Theodore McCarrick, former cardinal and bishop. In response to those meetings as well as the many calls, emails and conversations chancery staff and pastors have had with you, the faithful, we want you to know what has been done, what we continue to do and what’s in store for the future. Bishop Kopacz describes this approach as having four aspects: our safe environment program, victims’ assistance, cooperation with law enforcement and transparency.
