1 Mary and the Saints

2 What is a Saint?  The word “Saint,” means holy.  A Saint is a person who lives their life in a holy manner and for God.

3 How are Saints chosen?  In order for a holy person to become a Saint in the Catholic church, they must be canonized.  Canonization is the process that someone goes through to become a Saint  There are 5 steps to canonization.

4 Canonization  Step 1: The holy person dies and the local bishop investigates their life and any Catholic writings  Step 2: A panel of theologians then evaluate the holy person at the Vatican.

5 Canonization  Step 3: The holy person is proclaimed “venerable” after the conference.  Step 4: The person becomes beatified and must provide one miracle that is specifically asked of them.  Step 5: After one more miracle, the person will be canonized and becomes a Saint.

6 Fun Facts about Saints:  Saints have feast days! There are calendar days in the year that celebrate Saints.  Saints are Patrons of things or places. This is why we use intercessory prayer to pray to God. We do not pray to the Saints, we pray with the Saints.

7 What about Mary?  Mary is an example to all of us who wish to become Saints/have become Saints.  Mary is one of the most selfless people in history and dedicated her life to God when she said yes to his call.
