Here Is a List of Saints, Blesseds, and Venerables From Canada

For a country of only 40 million people, Canada has done quite well in sanctity, from the North American Martyrs to Governor General Servant of God Georges-Philias Vanier.


From Aleteia

By Philip Kosloski

Saints can be found in every country in the world, and the Catholic Church is beginning to recognize more and more outside of Europe.

For many years Aleteia has featured various articles highlighting Catholics of the United States who have been canonized or are in the process of canonization. That list of articles can be found here.

We are now embarking on a new initiative to highlight the many saints and holy men and women from Canada. We have already written several articles on particular individuals, and will be unveiling more as the weeks and months progress.

It's a great reminder that saints are not bound by geography, but spring up wherever the Holy Spirit moves, which is to say, everywhere!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
