Beatification is the 3rd step in the canonization process and one step from sainthood. A person who has been beatified is called Blessed. A person who has been canonized is given the title of Saint.

In the Catholic Church, a saint is someone who has been officially recognized for exceptional holiness and is believed to be in heaven. A blessed is someone who has been beatified, which is a step towards sainthood, but does not have the full recognition and veneration that a saint does.

In order to be a saint, you must have had 2 proven miracles happen because a person prayed through that saint to God. To be a blessed, you must have 1 miracle. (:
