Document Title: "Archangel Michael is called Saint
Question from on 04-20-2007:
While traveling with my son, who has become a devout non denominational christian, we came across a 'St Michael the Archangel' Catholic Church, my son asked how an Angel is a saint, since he assumed saints have to be humans. I have never questioned the saintly status for Michael and have often prayed for his protection. Is there a resource to explain how it is that he is called a 'saint'?

Hi,
If a being is in heaven, that being is a saint. Being in heaven is what it means to be a saint. For more on angels see:
