Saint alphona, the first ever Indian origin women to get saint hood. On Sunday, 12 October 2008, Pope Benedict XVI announced her canonization at a ceremony at Saint Peter's Square. Govt of India Issued 5 rupees coin for her Birth Centenary. Check the coin at :
Her tomb at St. Mary's Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Bharananganam has become a pilgrimage site as miracles have been reported by some of the faithful. Must visit, if you ever plan to come to kerala.

Hi brookes and welcome to these Christian forums of fellowship in the blessed name of Jesus.
I came out of Catholicism and do not adhere to their selection of saints, but I do believe that any time there comes recognition of Christianity especially by a country as India we can rejoice, and I use the following scripture to point to that.
Php 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Blessings in Christ Jesus. :wave2
 
Saint is ok but I prefer to be called King. I could be Priest but i like King better.

"And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen"
