FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Here are the top questions our clients ask before getting started.
What is the difference between someone who is a Servant of God, Venerable, Blessed and Saint?
The Church’s canonization process proceeds through four official stages, each granting a greater degree of recognition and public liturgical honor: - Servant of God: The diocesan bishop opens a cause for canonization and the person’s life is investigated. No public veneration is allowed; the title simply marks the beginning of the formal process. - Venerable: After the Congregation for the Causes of Saints confirms that the Servant of God lived a life of heroic virtue, the Pope issues a decree of heroic virtue. The person is called Venerable; private prayers may be offered, but public cult is still prohibited. - Blessed (Beatified): A verified miracle (or martyrdom) attributed to the Venerable’s intercession allows the Pope to beatify the person. The title Blessed authorizes a limited, local public feast and the faithful may publicly invoke the Blessed’s intercession. - Saint (Canonized): A second post‑beatification miracle (or martyrdom) leads to canonization. The person is declared a Saint, receives a universal liturgical feast, and public veneration is permitted throughout the whole Church.
What is the difference between those stages?
We support a wide range of SMEs—from creative agencies to manufacturers, professional services to retailers.
Why we pray to the saints?
We ask the saints to pray for us because they share in the life of the Church, they exemplify perfect prayer, and the Church, grounded in Scripture and Tradition, confirms that their intercession is a genuine aid to our own prayer life.
How does the Church decide who becomes a saint?
The process begins with the “fama sanctitatis” – a widespread reputation of holiness among the faithful (General Audience 2022). The Congregation for the Causes of Saints then conducts a rigorous investigation of the candidate’s life, virtues, and any miracles. When heroic virtue is confirmed, the Pope may declare the person Venerable; subsequent verified miracles lead to beatification and canonization.
How can I develop a personal devotion to a saint?
You may pray privately to the saint, read his or her biography, celebrate the saint’s feast privately, and ask for his or her intercession in daily needs. Such devotion should be “in harmony with the liturgy and the norms of the Church” (Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, 211), avoiding public liturgical actions that would imply an official cult before beatification.
