Saints & Feast Days
In the Catholic Church, saints are people who have died in a state of grace and are now in Heaven with God. Some lived visibly holy lives from a young age. Others struggled with sin or lived far from God for many years — but turned to Him, repented, and were transformed by His grace.
The Church officially recognizes some saints through a process called canonization, declaring them models of virtue and inviting the faithful to ask for their prayers. But there are also countless “invisible saints” — people in Heaven whose names and stories are known only to God.
All saints, whether canonized or not, remind us that holiness is possible — not because we are perfect, but because God’s mercy is greater than our sins. The saints are our spiritual family, cheering us on from Heaven and praying for us to one day join them.
“The saints have not all started well, but they have all ended well.”
— St. John Vianney
The Roman Calendar of Saints, revered by the Roman Catholic Church, assigns specific dates to honor and celebrate the lives and feast days of canonized saints, weaving a tapestry of devotion and heavenly significance.
