# List of South American Catholic saints

The Catholic Church recognizes some deceased Catholics as saints, blesseds, venerables, and Servants of God. Some of these people were born, died, or lived their religious life in any of the territories of South America. The Catholic Church entered South America in 1500 through Brazil and quickly expanded across the continent with the Spanish and Portuguese cultures. Today this area remains heavily Catholic.
