Pope Francis Canonizes 14 New Saints During Mass at St. Peter's Square | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

On Sunday, the Church received 14 new saints. During the Canonization Mass in St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis upheld the examples of the saints, saying they were men and women who did not live for their own glory but for the glory of God. The Holy Father proclaimed 11 martyrs and three founders of religious orders—14 blessed in total—as the Church's newest saints. Italian sister Elena Guerra, who founded the Oblates of the Holy Spirit, as well as Canadian Sister Marie-Léonie Paradis, founder of the Little Sisters of the Holy Family, were both declared saints for their dedication to spiritual and educational missions. Italian priest Giuseppe Allamano, the founder of two religious congregations—the Consolata Missionaries for men and the Consolata Missionary Sisters for women—was also proclaimed a saint.
