Saints are persons in heaven who lived virtuous lives, offered their life for others, or were martyred for the faith. More than 10,000 saints recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. Christians venerate the saints. Many find comfort in the knowledge that these holy people shared in their same struggles, sins, doubts, or hardships and ask specific saints to pray for them. Though all the saints are great in one way or other, in my opinion, I consider St. Antony, St.Francis Xavier, and St. Padre Pio as the greatest saints and consider St. Padre Pio as the most extraordinary and the greatest of all saints.
