    A saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness or closeness to God.  Technically a saint is anyone in Heaven, whether recognized or not. The title “Saint” denotes a person who has been officially declared a saint by the Church, called canonization.   The Catholic Church’s perspective is that it does not create saints, but rather recognizes them.

    A saint may be designated as a patron saint of a particular cause, profession, locale, or invoked as a protector against specific illnesses or disasters, sometimes by popular custom and sometimes by official declarations of the Church.  For example St. Jude is the patron of loss causes and why the Memphis hospital focused on terminally ill children is named for him as they are lost causes.
