Pre-congregational saint
A
pre-congregational saint
is a Christian
saint
whose
beatification
and/or
canonization
occurred before the institution of the modern investigations performed by the
Congregation for the Causes of Saints
(i.e. pre-11th century). It designates those who were canonized by local
bishops
,
primates
, or
patriarchs
, often as a result of a local custom,
veneration
or devotion.
