Peter A. Redpath writes to update us on activities at ALI and other organizations
----------------------------
- Our condolences go out to our colleagues at the Marcel Society upon the death of K. R. Hanley:Dear Members and Friends of the Marcel Society,
With great regret, President of the Gabriel Marcel Society Brendan Sweetman has informed us of the passing of K. R. Hanley, former Professor of Philosophy at Le Moyne College, Marcel scholar, and a founding member of the Marcel Society. K.R. was 87, and had been ill for some time. In later years, she lived in Falmouth, Mass. Those of us who worked with K.R. over the years have fond memories of a very sincere, spiritual lady who cared deeply about her students, of stimulating presentations and discussions, great humor, as well as her complete dedication to her calling as a professor and educator. May she rest in peace.
Her full obituary from Le Moyne College, along with funeral arrangements, can be found here:
https://www.lemoyne.edu/News/News-Article/ArticleId/234
At a later date, the Marcel Society will honor K.R. in a special way.
We will inform you about this as soon as we receive the information.

- Listen to Joseph Fessio, S.J.' s announcement at https://vimeo.com/348653386
about the REVOLUTIONARY Angelicum Academy Great Books Program:
1) It enables students to acquire an Associate's degree in the Great Books totally online by the end of 12th grade and a Bachelor's degree as little as two years later.
2) Thanks to the agreement between the Angelicum Academy and Holy Apostles College, total tuition cost for the BA degree is under $30,000, while the average total cost of a four-year BA in private colleges is $180,000+.
3) It includes 12 credits of online Theology courses developed for the Angelicum Academy by Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J.
COLLEGE CREDITS: Angelicum Academy students may earn from 1-75 college credits while home schooling (in grades 9-12) or while in high school, or later. They may earn their accredited Associate’s degree (from Holy Apostles College -requires 60 credits) while in high school or home school (grades 9-12, or later), or they may take individual college-level courses for transfer elsewhere – to other of the hundreds of colleges and universities that accept ACE recommended credits. Students who earn their Associate’s degree while in home school (grades 9-12) or high school, may earn a further 15 credits then as well, enabling them to complete 75 credits towards their accredited bachelor’s degree (requires 120 credits) – that is nearly 2/3rds of their bachelor’s degree, for a fraction of the cost elsewhere.
For more information about this program, see: http://www.angelicum.net/
