Gifts of the Holy Spirit!
	BRIEF: ✠ Catholic School student, I have created this website for a Catholic Studies Project . Bessed Carlo Acutis, pray for us! 🕯 (yes, a patron Saint of the internet/computers) What does it mean to be a Catholic? 🕊️: ✠ A Catholic is someone who belongs to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, founded by Saint Peter, the first Pope, Himself over 2,000 years ago. To be Catholic is a way of life, as well as a means to salvation that gives us unity with God, Mother Mary, the saints, and the Church. ✝️ Believe and have faith in the teachings of Christ; accept that they are handed down through Scripture and sacred Tradition. 🕯️ Participate in the sacraments, especially the Eucharist—the consumption of the true Body and Blood of Christ. 🕊️ Live guided by the Holy Spirit, striving for virtue and holiness in everyday life 🙏 Pray (including the Rosary 📿), confess, fast, forgive, give alms, and adore—and always seek deeper intimacy and higher union with Christ. A Word From the Saints✝️ : ✠ “Pray, hope, and don’t worry.” 🕯️ — St. Padre Pio Please enjoy this site! This was a project I put passion into.

NOTABLE CATHOLIC SAINTS

What and Who Are the Catholic Saints?
	✠ What Are Catholic Saints? Catholic saints are individuals recognized by the Church as having lived lives of exceptional holiness and virtue. They are believed to now be in Heaven, interceding for people on Earth. 🕊️ 🕊️ What Makes Someone a Saint? To be declared a saint, one must: 1. Lived a life of heroic virtue — charity, faith, humility, courage. 2. Died in a state of grace — after strong devotion to God. 3. Been canonized — officially declared a saint by the Church after investigation and miracles. ✨ Canonization is the formal process the Church uses to declare sainthood. 🛐 Why Are Saints Important? ✦ Role Models: Saints show us how to live with love and holiness. ✦ Intercessors: They pray for us in Heaven, like spiritual mentors. ✦ God’s Glory: Their lives reveal how grace works, even through suffering and imperfection. 🌹 Types of Saints: ✦ Martyrs – died for their faith (St. Joan of Arc) ✦ Doctors of the Church – great teachers (St. Thérèse of Lisieux) ✦ Patron Saints – protectors of causes and places (St. Anthony – lost things) 🙏 Can Anyone Become a Saint? Yes! We are all called to sainthood — to live in holiness, love God, and help others. Canonized saints are examples, but many saints are known only to God, and have yet to be revealed to us!.
