List of venerated American Catholics

From Catholicism Wiki
File:Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.jpg

The Catholic Church recognizes some deceased Catholics as saints, beati, and venerabili and Servants of God. Some of these figures are significantly associated with the United States and the territories that preceded it.

Catholicism in the United States began with the first European explorations and colonization of the Americas. Indeed, Columbus's expedition of 1492 included Catholic priests among the crew. Catholic missionaries were some of the first Europeans to reach many parts of French North America and British North America in the east, and Spanish North America in the Southwestern United States.

Several American Catholics have been considered for sainthood over the past 50 years. Most of these Americans were born after 1850, though the majority of those who have been canonized so far were not.
