Lay Saints
Lay saints lived their holiness outside religious orders or ordained ministry — as spouses, parents, workers, and everyday members of the Church — showing that sanctity is fully open to anyone regardless of vocation. Their canonizations have grown more common as the Church emphasizes the universal call to holiness.
