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. Offering inspiration and encouragement, "Saints and Feasts of the Liturgical Year" functions as an aid in introducing the faithful to the day's feast or to the saint whose memorial is being celebrated.
