The canonization process had not yet been invented when he was widely acclaimed to be a saint by the early Church; therefore, the answer is that he was not canonized, but is nonetheless recognized as a saint.
She was executed in 1431. She was later canonized as a Saint in 1920
I don't think that St. Joseph was ever actually canonized. I think that he was just considered a Saint because he is the foster father of Jesus, and that over the years the devotion to him grew and grew.
St. Brigid was never beatified or canonized. She became a saint in the first millennium, before the canonization process was standardized by the Vatican. She became a saint by popular acclaim rather than ever being formally canonized.
The Venerable Antonietta Meo (December 15, 1930 – July 3, 1937) was an Italian girl who may become the youngest saint who is a confessor (not a martyr) ever canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. Her nickname is Nennolina and she is not yet canonized as a saint nor is she a patron saint.
No person is ever canonized while still living. If it ever happened in history (I have no knowledge of it) it was a monumental blunder. The idea of canonization into sainthood in the Roman Catholic church is that it is a reliable declaration that the person's soul has ascended into heaven.
not that I have ever heard.......but you could try asking someone from one of your local churches. The Catholics seem to have a saint for practically everything.Catholic Answer:There is no reference to any canonized saint named Dawn.

He was not canonized since the process of canonization did not exist for nearly 1000 years after he died. He was declared a saint by the early Christian community based on his martyrdom. Pope St. Gelasius confirmed his sainthood a couple centuries later and fixed his feast day as February 14.
The only non-Catholic saints were some Jewish relatives of Jesus who died before Christianity was founded - St. John the Baptist, St. Elizabeth, St. Anne and St. Joseph, for example.There is a Saint Anastasia who you can pray to but she is not the same person as Anastasia, the daughter of Tzar Nicholas who is not a canonized saint.

Once a saint, always a saint. However, there have been a number of saints who have been dropped from the calendar of saints - St. Christopher, Saint Valentine of Rome, Saint Ursula, Saint Philomena are examples. They may have existed but virtually nothing is know about them or even if they ever existed. Usually, their cult (following) is allowed and their feast days can still be celebrated in particular parishes. There are others who have even had their cults suppressed, such as Saint Barbara and Saint Olivia. While they may have existed, all that is known about them is based on legend and myth. Some were actually never actual people but were simply characters in pious tales that were circulating in the early days of the Church.If a person was officially canonized, that very act is considered infallible and irrevocable. None of those removed from the calendar of saints were ever officially canonized.
