These saints are popularly [[glorification|glorified]] (canonized) by the Church, often in the modern era with a formal service to recognize and affirm the [[veneration]] of them by the faithful.
Saints are not thought of as either perfect or infallible, and it will be is only because of the work of Christ in them this that the Church praises these people.
