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
