How many Catholic saints are buried in the United States?

Answer 1

Millions of Catholic saints are buried in the United States.

Everyone in heaven or on their way to heaven are saints. You, me, my deceased grandmother, Mary the mother of Jesus, and Mother Teresa.

How many "canonized" Catholic saints are buried in the United States? This would be very hard to determine.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Difficult question and I cannot give you an exact number of Canonized Saints but I can give you this

If you go to http://www.catholic.org/saints/search.php and to a search for

"united states"

with quotes, it returns 107 matches of Saints that are somehow involved with the US. They may not have all died here, or may not all be burried here...you would have to go through all 107 to check. There are also, probably more as I do not know if www.catholic.org uses the full list of saints from the Roman and Eastern Rites.

Here is a few of interest.
