The Archdiocese of Denver has announced that its Office of Catholic Schools will conduct a full internal review following the conclusion of a criminal investigation. This action aligns with the Archdiocese's child safeguarding policies.

According to the Archdiocese, "The Archdiocese’s Code of Conduct, which is mandatory for all who work or serve within the Archdiocese and its schools, includes mandatory child safeguarding policies." The Code reflects a commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals and upholding Catholic values while meeting moral standards. It emphasizes that adherence is crucial for community safety and maintaining trust in their mission.

The policies mandate immediate reporting to the Office of Catholic Schools and the Archdiocese when parish leadership encounters situations like this one. This requirement aims to ensure minors' safety and legal compliance. The upcoming review by the Office of Catholic Schools will examine how school leadership managed this situation concerning relevant policies, including involving both the Office and the Archdiocese.

A key objective of this review is to derive lessons from this incident for the benefit of Nativity parish school and other schools under their jurisdiction.

Regarding employment matters, particularly concerning the termination decision involving Nativity parish school's principal, "Because this involves employment concerns and based on the usual privacy requirements in such situations, the Archdiocese of Denver has no further comment on the specifics."
