Saint of the Catholic Church

A saint in the Catholic Church is a person recognized for living a life of exceptional virtue, faith, and holiness. Through their actions and example, they inspire others to grow closer to God. Canonization, the formal process of declaring someone a saint, involves investigating their life, virtues, and miracles attributed to them after death. Saints serve as spiritual models and intercessors, believed to pray for us in heaven. They can be local, national, or universal figures, and their lives reflect the Church’s teachings and mission to embody Christ’s love on earth.
