Saints and Feasts of the Liturgical Year

This is a revised and updated edition of the perennial Georgetown University Press classic, this beautiful and comfortably sized guide is compact, but brimming with information. This edition includes over 260 brief biographies, including 33 new entries, as well as a glossary of terms to help explain the theology of the Roman Catholic Church. Based on the General Roman Calendar, presently in use in the Roman Catholic Church, it also includes the feasts, Saints, and Blesseds from the Liturgical Calendar of the Society of Jesus-known as the Jesuits-as officially observed within the Society of Jesus.
