SAINTS/HEROES OF NEW YORK SERIES
Looking for more local holiness? Wait 20 years and New York may be awash in sanctity. The process of declaring a saint in the Catholic Church usually takes decades, sometimes centuries. Along the way, a candidate must first be certified as a servant of God, then venerable, then blessed before canonization can be considered. These titles aren’t just milestones on the way to sainthood; each is a mark of glory in itself. We can pray to them, honor them – and as New Yorkers, we can be humbly thankful that our region has been blessed by the presence of even more great Catholics, listed below.
Servants of God
Dorothy Day (1897–1980): Co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement who tirelessly fought for the poor, the hungry and the homeless. Her cause was launched by John Cardinal O’Connor in 1990.
Terence Cardinal Cooke (1921–1983): Archbishop of New York from 1968 until his death in 1983, known for his work to protect the unborn and provide educational opportunities to the underprivileged. The Cardinal Cooke Guild was formed to promote his cause for sainthood in 1984.
Fr. Isaac Hecker (1819–1888): A native New Yorker and founder of the Paulist Fathers. In 2010, Cardinal Edward Egan launched his cause for sainthood.
Rose Hawthorne Lathrop (Mother Mary Alphonsa, OP, 1851–1926): A Catholic convert and founder of the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, known for her devotion to the care of people with terminal cancer. The movement for her canonization was begun in 2003.
Fr. Vincent Capodanno (1929–1967): A Staten Island native and Maryknoll missionary who became a Marine chaplain in Vietnam and was killed while assisting soldiers in the heat of battle. His cause for sainthood was initiated in 2010.
Venerables and Blesseds
Venerable Pierre Toussaint 1766–1853
A prominent Black New Yorker and businessman of the 19th century whose charitable work and contributions supported orphans, immigrants and schools – and helped fund the construction of the original St. Patrick’s Cathedral in SoHo. Declared venerable in 1996.

And a Few More Saints
Though their connection to the Archdiocese of New York is less direct, these saints too had ties to our region.
St. Marianne Cope (1838–1918): A Franciscan sister from way upstate (Syracuse) who became legendary as Mother Marianne of Molokai, overseeing the care of people suffering from leprosy in Hawaii for three decades. Canonized in 2012.
St. Jean de LaLande (1616–1646) & St. René Goupil (1608–1642): Jesuit lay missionaries who worked alongside St. Isaac Jogues. Both canonized in 1930.
St. Pope Paul VI (1897–1978) & St. Pope John Paul II (1920–2005): Both popes visited the Archdiocese of New York – John Paul II visited three times! Canonized in 2018 and 2014, respectively.
