Our Sunday Visitor's Catholic Almanac remains the only annual, comprehensive guide to the Catholic Church. It is the essential one-volume reference work for researchers, homilists, writers, media professionals, students, and teachers.

Published for more than one hundred years, this is a proven resource that offers solid, orthodox Catholic teaching and information. Its in-depth index makes finding specific, exact information easy.

Archbishop John P. Foley, President emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications at the Vatican, has called the Catholic Almanac an annual masterpiece!

Our Sunday Visitor claims this work is the one and only Catholic resource, and simply the best annual guide to the Catholic Church anywhere. These are bold statements, but accurate. . . . This excellent work is especially useful for those interested in either the Roman Catholic Church or the Holy See. . . . It is informative, easy to use, and well written.

Our Sunday Visitor's Catholic Almanac 2008 (Our Sunday Visitor's Catholic Almanac)
The one-stop shopping for a thumb-nail sketch of the Catholic faith. Includes biographies of saints, and lay/clerical persons, the world's nations and percentage of Catholics in each. Also serves as a "World Almanac" key to catholics and their beliefs and cross-generational materials for non-catholics. Describes in enough detail clerical and religious orders, their founders and mission fields. And the outreach of the faith in relation to other Christian and non-Christian belief systems.

Very helpful resource. Every Catholic family should own one for references. We also use this book for guide on movies for the family to watch.

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2008

A useful guide which thoroughly covers the history and teachings of the Catholic Church. Since it is issued every year, one of its best features is events of the latest year. For those who are statistic conscious, statistics abound and give very useful knowledge. As to annulment statistics, I have a question? Of the 62,000 given worldwide, 39,000 are given in the United States. This disproportion opens the question of "why?" Perhaps the 2009 edition could answer the question and explain why?

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2006

This book is filled with historical information as well as current information for Catholics. I am going to try to get one every year.
