I was just struck curious by this in Wiki re: Saint Damien

"In both the Latin Rite and the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church, Damien is venerated as a saint, one who is holy and worthy of public veneration and invocation. In the Anglican communion, as well as other denominations of Christianity, "

Does your church have saints that are peculiar to only the Latin Rite, and not the Eastern Rite (and visa versa)??

I think it’s more a matter of which saints are on the various liturgical calendars.

So a saint should be recognised across the Catholic churches?

I would expect so.

A Catholic saint, regardless of Church said saint belongs to, is a saint. However, not even all Latin saints are on every Latin calendar. For an example: St Conrad of Parzham is on the Franciscan Liturgical calendar for 21 April, but not on the General Roman Calendar. Blessed Juan Diego is celebrated in America, but not in Europe.

What’s it mean to be on the calendar?

It means to be celebrated on a specific feast day. Just like St Dionysius the Areopagite is “on the calendar” for 3 October (9 October for us Westerners).

It is related to the issue of local saints.
