Fr Pat Collins a vincentian priest in Ireland, is part of the catholic charismatic renewal and also is one of three trained Exorcist Priests in Ireland.
 
There are probably many people throughout the world who have various gifts of healing, miracles, prophecy, etc. The word “saint” includes people with outstanding virtue and holiness. There is overlap between the two groups, but not all with such gifts are outstanding in holiness and vice versa.

Thank you very much for the Padre Pio books. May God bless you abundantly.
 
john Gillespie - read his book the miracle ship.

His healings have included making cancer vanish, deaf hear, lame walk
 
I’ve heard of a few; I’ve also heard of some who ‘kind of’’ were, but then kind of fell off the map, due to the effects leaving them.

Some who come to mind:

Fr. Zlatko Sudac- Fr. Sudac is a Croatian priest who bears a stigmatic cross upon his forehead. His superiors had this cross checked out, but they couldn’t find an explanation for it. He has reportedly bilocated, healed, etc. The main issue some people seem to have with him is that he isn’t adverse to publicity; he records albums, goes to big conferences, and has several videos on Youtube (albeit not on his own personal page or anything).

Alan Ames- Mr. Ames is an Australian man who used to belong to a gang. After spending years in prison, he seems to have had a major conversion. With the blessing of his Bishop, and many other Bishops, he performs healing services at home and abroad after Masses. Apparently, it is very effective. I’ve read no issues or scandalizing reviews of Mr. Ames.

Fr. John Baptist Bashobora- Fr. Bash (as he is lovingly called) hails from the Mbarara diocese in Uganda, Africa. He is very loved, and very humble. Great numbers of testimonies attest to his charisms of healing and deliverance. While he seems to not desire the attention that his ministry receives, he has used the numerous donations to build orphanages and schools, to feed hungry children, etc. One testimony I read tells of him leading a Eucharistic procession, when a young man in the crowd began to convulse, apparently with an evil spirit. Fr. Bash returned to the young man and just held the monstrance there before him, and the man was healed.

Those are the three that come to mind first. Other names might be: Sr. Briege Mckenna, Catalina Rivas, and Eddie Stones.

Call me a skeptic, but until the Church makes a definitive statement, I’m prone to not believe these or any other claims as authentic, doubly so when it comes from “superstars” created from their “ministries”.
