Draft:List of 21st-century venerated Catholics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list concerns the few saints and blesseds recognized by the Catholic Church who lived in the 21st century. Given the contemporaneity of this century, this page more particularly lists the candidates for canonization, for whom a cause has been opened by the ecclesiastical authorities, and who are considered servants of God.
