Pope Benedict XVI canonized Brazil's first native-born saint, an 18th-century Franciscan friar renowned for his charity to the poor and his legacy of miraculous healings.
At an outdoor Mass May 11, the pope read a decree proclaiming sainthood for Father Antonio Galvao, prompting a surge of applause among the hundreds of thousands of people who gathered at Sao Paulo's Campo de Marte Airport for the liturgy.

how about Padre Pio? He died 1969. Pope John11 declared him a saint. He had the wounds of Christ, he could see into peoples souls, he prayed 100 rosarys a day, which as you know, is the prayers of the life of Jesus Christ.
