Need the name or biography of an American bishop or a cardinal? How about a list of Beatifications by Pope John Paul II? Or perhaps information on Catholic colleges, religious movements, or the Catholic Press? How about a Reader's Digest-condensed version of Pope John Paul II's encyclicals?
Whatever Catholic bit of information you are seeking, the chances are pretty good that Our Sunday Visitor's 2001 Almanac will have what you are looking for.
Next to my dictionary it is one of the most used books sitting on my shelf.
Updated annually, it provides addresses, phone numbers, and web addresses to all things Catholic.
The 2001 edition also features special Jubilee year coverage, in-depth coverage of the revelation of the "Third Secret" of Fatima, extensive coverage of the Pope's trip to the Holy Land, articles in defense of Pope Pius XII, the Vatican list of the greatest films, and much more.
Whether you're a Catholic student, writer, professor, or lay person you will find this small book indispensable in your work.
This book is a complete Catholic reference with sufficient sources for additional information. Excellent history of the church and catechism brief reference.
