What are the Saints? | Catholic Basics | Episode 21

* I spoke about how we commemorate important events/people of our Catholic faith throughout the year. The hierarchy of celebrations in the Catholic Church are as follows: Solemnities, Feasts, Memorials.  A Solemnity is the highest celebration of the Church, then Feast Days, then Memorials. Depending on the Saint, they can fall into any of these categories.
