When the saints go marching in

In the Roman Catholic tradition, a saint is someone who led an exceptional life of holiness and virtue and who is now believed to be with God in Heaven

In Making Saints, Kenneth Woodward described a saint as: ‘someone through whom we catch a glimpse of what God is like — and of what we are called to be.’

Saints are not made by the Catholic Church, but proclaimed by a process known as canonisation. It is a lengthy, formal process involving an in-depth investigation into every aspect of the life of any person (called a ‘candidate’) for whom canonisation is sought.
