List of Mexican saints

(Redirected from List of Mexican Saints)

This is a list of Mexican saints, blesseds, venerables, and Servants of God, as recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. These people were born, died, or lived their religious life in the present territory of Mexico. Because of missionaries who spent greater or lesser amounts of time in Mexico en route to other mission lands, exact numbers of Mexican saints vary.

The Catholic Church has been present in what is now Mexico since the earliest years of the sixteenth century. As early as 1517, the expedition of Francisco Hernández de Córdoba brought Catholicism to the Yucatan, where the first diocese in continental North America would be erected in 1518. Mexico's first saint was canonized in 1862. Today, Mexico accounts for more saints and Blesseds than any other country in the Western Hemisphere.
