St. Conrad's Capuchin-Franciscan Province of Mid-America |
Capuchin Saints & Blesseds
Capuchins of Mid-America honor Saint Conrad of Parzham, as our heavenly patron. Conrad is just one
of 57 Capuchin friars and nuns,
from the 16th to the 20th century, who have been
honored by the Church as Saints and Blesseds. This prompted Pope John Paul II to say,
"They say you Capuchins are poor, but you are actually very, very rich. You have
Saints!" His Holiness said this at the beginning of his pontificate.
Subsequently, he has been personally involved in further emphasizing
this enrichment. He has canonized five of our fourteen saints, and
beatified 33 of the 43 blesseds. Of the 57 saints and blessed, one died
in the 16th century, 12 each in the 17th and 18th centuries, 4 in the
19th, and 28 in the 20th.
The most recent canonizations (both in 2002) are those of St. Ignatius
of Santhia (d. 1770) and "Padre Pio" or St. Pius of Pietrelcino (d.
1968), and the most recent beatifications (both in 2003) are those of
Bl. Mark of Aviano (d. 1699) amd Bl. Andrew Hyacinth Longhin (d. 1936).
