id452Church designates as saints those who have been recognized for their exceptional degree of holiness, sanctity, and virtue, who defeated sin and attained salvation beyond doubt.
Saints will not be condemned during the Last Judgement, but, instead, will preside with Christ over the judgement of mankind. They relentlessly intercede for us before God, thus actively participating in the life of the Church. For this reason Church never forgets its saints and commemorates them.
