I really like the idea of this book. A daily reader of one page biographies or important dates and how Roman Catholics affected the country or were affected by their American faith. I got this signed new edition as a gift so I take care to look at it often.
I wouldn't ever write an almanac as it's too much work, but maybe a smaller version would be interesting for me to research and write. Appendix of American saints, blesseds, and venerables or those who died in America, dates of founding of American dioceses' and dates of founding of minor American basilicas. People included are: Cardinal Roger Mahony, Al Capone, Jack Kerouac, Andrew Jackson, Joseph Revere (grandson of Paul), Sisters of Charity at Gettysburg, Alfred Hitchcock.
