For more information on the process of sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church, see Canonization.
This list of venerated Americans includes saints of the Catholic Church and beati, venerabili, servants of God who are significantly associated with what was at the time or subsequently became the United States.
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. Catholics continue to contribute to American religious life. Most of these Americans were born after 1850, though the majority of those who have been canonized so far were not.
