How is it possible that there can be “St. Michael the ArchAngel”? In other words, can an angel, as a non-human, be a saint?
 
Dear Tom,

Yep! Originally “saint” simply meant a Christian. But now to be a saint has come to mean anyone (other than God) who is in heaven. Angels are in heaven so they are saints.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
