Denver Newsroom, Aug 27, 2020 / 06:01 pm (CNA).- Twice a week for three months, the administration of St. Ambrose Academy in Wisconsin met with Dane County public health officials to ensure that they would be ready to reopen at the start of the school year – which was supposed to happen this week.
They drafted a 35-page plan to mitigate the risks of the coronavirus, including regulations on the flow of students, social distancing, personal protective equipment, and regular cleaning and sanitization. They leased a second building, so that their 115 students could social distance even more. The plan was released to parents, who could choose to send their students to school in person or online.

Last February, the worldwide federation L’Arche released an internal report that revealed decades of sexual misconduct committed by its founder Jean Vanier, who died in 2019. Mr. Vanier had been described as a living saint, and his work with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities had inspired an international following and the establishment of over 150 L’Arche communities in 38 countries.
The members of those communities around the world were devastated by the news of Mr. Vanier’s misconduct. They anticipated that overcoming the fallout from those revelations would be their most difficult challenge for some time to come. Then, the Covid-19 pandemic became another undeniable reality to face.
