Saint for a Minute
Discover the lives of Catholic saints and blesseds — models of holiness and powerful intercessors who show us that every Christian is called to the fullness of faith.
Why Explore Catholic Saints?
The saints are models of heroic virtue and powerful intercessors given to us by God (CCC 828).
The Path to Sainthood
The canonization process is a rigorous examination of a person's life, heroic virtues, and faithfulness to God's grace:
Servant of God
Cause opened; life and writings examined by the diocese
Venerable
Heroic virtue or martyrdom formally recognized by the Pope
Blessed
A verified miracle attributed to their intercession (martyrs may be beatified without one)
Saint
A second verified miracle; solemnly enrolled in the canon of saints
