High-fives and academic growth increase at Holy Angels School with ‘blended learning’

As a parent, Ashley Asante-Doyle loves the joy on her daughter’s face when she talks about what she has learned in school. As a teacher, Mary Kate Veselik feels “awesome” knowing she has a way to increase the confidence and academic growth of all her students. As a principal, Matt Goddard never tires of the high-fives and hugs he gets from smiling students who want to share their latest success. All these reactions reflect the transformation that is taking shape at Holy Angels School in Indianapolis, one of the Notre Dame Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) Academies that has become the model for a comprehensive “blended-learning” program in the archdiocese.

Faith leaders honored for their commitment to young people

Ashley Barnett strives to help create a deep relationship with God for young people in her role as youth minister of St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Bloomington. Her efforts led her to be recently honored with the archdiocese’s 2017 Youth Ministry Servant of the Year Award. Barnett received the honor during a Mass on Sept. 5 in SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. Anita Navarra of St. Mary Parish in Greensburg and Leah Massingale of St. Michael Parish in Greenfield were also honored during the Mass, which celebrated leaders who serve in Catholic school, catechetical and pastoral ministries across the archdiocese.
