On Sunday, October 14, Pope Paul VI and Archbishop Oscar Romero will be recognized as official saints of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis will preside at their canonization Mass at Saint Peter’s Basilica. The Pope does not “make” them saints.

Where does the journey to sainthood begin and end and what are the points along the way?
