IPS Mourns the loss of Richard Westley, Ph.D.

Dick Wesley, a mainstay of the IPS summer program spanning three decades, died on February 9th. His courses at IPS, among them, ‘Redemptive Intimacy” and “Morality and its Beyond” reflected his rootedness in and commitment to the voice and vision of Vatican II. Dick, with good humor and depth of insight, combined his prophetic edge with pastoral sensitivity both in his courses and in his many publications. He and his late wife, Ethel were long time members of St. Gertrude Parish in Edgewater, and in recent years resided in the Adorata Villa retirement community in Wheeling, Illinois.
