List Of Catholic Saints Names, Meanings and Significance

In Catholicism, we have several characters and figures which we sometimes look up to for intercession due to their holy lifestyle while on Earth. These figures are called Saints. Each saint holds some significance and role in the Catholic church. Some of the saints have been venerated for a more specific reason and we called them patron saints. In this article, we will list some catholic saints names, and some of their significance and roles.

In the Catholic tradition, a saint is proclaimed only when the candidate have lived a holy life and showed extraordinary virtue when he or she was alive and also miracles he or she performed. Now a sacred process is being carried out which is called Canonization, and if the person is seen worthy, the Catholic Church will proclaim him or her a saint.
