A '''saint''', in the [[Catholic Church]], is a person who has lived a life of exemplary holiness, virtue, and fidelity to God, and is believed to be in [[Heaven]], interceding for the faithful on Earth. The Catholic Church venerates saints as models of Christian life and as powerful intercessors before God. The process of recognizing a saint, known as [[canonization]], is a formal procedure through which the Church declares an individual to be a saint, confirming their place in Heaven and authorizing their veneration in the liturgy. | A '''saint''', in the [[Catholic Church]], is a person who has lived a life of exemplary holiness, virtue, and fidelity to God, and is believed to be in [[Heaven]], interceding for the faithful on Earth.
