Online Edition – Vol. VII, No. 7: October 2001

This issue of the Adoremus Bulletin is dedicated to those who died as a result of the attack on America of September 11, and to all those throughout the world who have been and will continue to be deeply affected by these and other acts of inhuman terrorism. Thus, our usual coverage of liturgy items is abbreviated.
