By the strict definition of the church angels cannot become declared saints. Nowhere in The Bible does it call an angel a saint.

Roman Catholics, however, often refer to Michael as "Saint Michael" but this title does not indicate canonization as it would a person.

Archangel Michael s generally referred to in Christian litanies as "Saint Michael", as in the Litany of the Saints.

Catholic AnswerThe title "saint" in the Catholic Church just indicates that someone is in heaven. The good angels have always been in heaven and thus the title "saint" applies to them. The Catholic Church, which wrote the Bible, is the same Church that applies the title to anyone in heaven.
