SCHOOL STUDENT NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, na onal origin, and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and ac vi es generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condi on, sex, or na onal and/or ethnic origin in the administra on of educa onal policies and prac c-es, scholarship programs, and athle c and other school-administered programs, although certain athle c leagues and other programs may limit par cipa on and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools.

While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be availa-ble to them. Decisions concerning the admission and con nued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the stu-dent's emo onal, academic, and physical abili es and the re-sources available to the school in mee ng the student's needs.

NECEDAD A veces la noción del arrepen miento parece an cuada, ingenua y hasta necia. Pero si buscas locura, la encontrarás en las lecturas de hoy.

Comencemos con Leví co y la amonestación “no te vengues ni guardes rencor” (Leví co 19:18). Por supuesto que hemos escuchado este mensaje antes, y por eso puede que olvidemos lo alejado que está de las “realidades prác cas de la vida”, contra las que nos advierte san Pablo. Será mejor que quien se considere sabio “se haga ignorante”, porque “la sabiduría de este mundo es ignorancia ante Dios” (1 Corin os 3:18, 19).

Esta “locura” con núa en el Evangelio: “No ha-gan resistencia al hombre malo” (Mateo 5:39). De hecho, presenta la otra mejilla, si has sido golpea-do. Dale tu abrigo al que te pide la camisa. Sé co-mo Dios que manda el sol y la lluvia sobre justos e injustos. “Sean perfectos”, dice Jesús, “como su Padre celes al es perfecto” (5:48).

FOOLISHNESS Some mes the idea of repentance seems old-fashioned, naïve, even foolish. But if you’re looking for real foolishness, you’ll find it in today’s read-ings.

We begin with Levi cus and the admoni on, “Take no revenge and cherish no grudge” (Levi cus 19:18). We’ve heard that message before, of course, so we might forget how far it is from the so-called “prac cal reali es of life.” Saint Paul warns us about being prac cal, though. Whoever consid-ers oneself wise had be er “become a fool,” be-cause “the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God” (1 Corinthians 3:18, 19).

This “foolishness” con nues in the Gospel: “Offer no resistance to one who is evil” (Ma hew 5:39). In fact, offer the other cheek when you’ve been slapped. Hand over your coat as well as your shirt. Be like God, who sends sunshine and rain on the bad as well as the good. “So be perfect,” says Jesus, “just as your heavenly Father is per-fect” (5:48). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

DID YOU KNOW?

Visiting clergy members are VIRTUS® trained

A priest who is visiting the Archdiocese to

minister for more than 15 days is required to complete a VIRTUS® Protecting God’s Chil-dren Adult Awareness Program, or present certification that states they have already

completed a safe environment program. Arch-diocesan officials will review alternative safe environment programs to ensure that they

meet the standards held in our archdiocese for content and training protocols. These re-

quirements are not just for priests — any bish-op, deacon, religious brother or sister minis-

tering in the archdiocese, must be cleared be-fore beginning their ministry. For more infor-

mation, visit http://handbook.la-archdiocese.org/chapter-9/section-9-4/topic-9-

4-1.

¿SABÍA USTED?

Los miembros del clero de visita también reciben entrenamiento

VIRTUS®

Un sacerdote que está de visita en la Ar-

quidiócesis para ministrar por más de 15 días debe completar el Programa de VIRTUS® para la Concientización de Adultos para la Protec-

ción de los Hijos de Dios, o presentar una cer-tificación que declare que ellos ya han com-

pletado un programa de ambiente seguro. Fun-cionarios de la Arquidiócesis revisarán esos

programas de ambiente seguro alternativos pa-ra asegurar que llenan los estándares que se

mantienen en nuestra Arquidiócesis en cuanto a protocolos de contenido y entrenamiento. Estos

requisitos no son solo para los sacerdotes. También los requisitos que presente cualquier

obispo, diácono, hermano o hermana religiosos que ministren en la Arquidiócesis deben ser ap-robados antes de que inicien su ministerio. Para

sino que tenga la vida eterna.” Juan 3,16
