St. Juan Diego became a saint through the process of canonization by the Catholic Church. He was recognized for the reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary to him in 1531 in Tepeyac, Mexico, which led to the conversion of many indigenous people to Christianity. After a thorough investigation of his life and miracles attributed to his intercession, St. Juan Diego was officially canonized as a saint by Pope John Paul II in 2002.
