In the Catholic Church, it is required that there be two verified and public miracles in order for a person to be a saint- one has to specifically ask for this person's intercession!  The Church wants us to call on Church Triumphant - who want to help us but we have to knock seek and ask!  Contact us at the shrine here and we can help you with prayer cards, how to do it and a list of blessed people, or venerables who need a miracle or two in order to be come a saint!  Send father an email at jschultz@syrdio.org or call us.

Below we are compiling a list of those who have been named Servants of God, Venerable, or Blessed in the Catholic Church. They need either one or two miracles to be declared a saint. For inspiration, a short list can be found below, this is only a selection, as it would be too extensive to list them all! For more information see our Future Saint Page.
