Canonisation, or it can be spelt: canonization
The Episcopal Church [E.C.] does not condone suicide. However, the church does not condemn to hell any person who commits suicide. Rather, the church knows that God, in his mercy, will deal with the person justly (and compassionately). The E.C. recognizes the great suffering that many people endure, and that the person just lost their way.
A Saint.

declares them a Saint
The Church does not choose saints, only God can do that. However, the Church does have an investigative process to determine if the person is actually in heaven called the canonization process.
There is no widely recognized Catholic saint named Samantha. The Catholic Church has an elaborate process for canonization, which involves verifying miracles and a rigorous evaluation of the person's life and holiness. If Samantha has not been officially recognized by the Church as a saint, then she is not considered a Catholic saint.
It is when a person is believed to be "blessed" and is a part of the canonization process.
the halo represents a person's holiness, no ordinary person had a halo.
If you were baptized in another church, you do not get baptized again. The Church recognizes the one baptism as valid.Roman Catholic AnswerYou may be baptized if the original baptism was not valid. You should check with the priest. If there is some question, they may baptize you conditionally, "if you are not already baptized, I baptize you in the Name of the Father..." as to attempt to "re-baptize" a person is very wrong.
Yes, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of the Episcopal Church and most any other Christian Church that performs a baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, e.g., "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." The Pastor of your Catholic Church will request the Baptism Card or Certificate signed by the priest of your Episcopal Church, when your family is 'received' into the Catholic Church and/or prior to signing off on the child's the First Communion. As a side-note the Catholic Church recognizes that any person may perform the Baptism of a child in cases of necessity, even by a non-baptized person, with the required intention, by using the Trinitarian baptismal formula as stated above. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes. [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1256]
Sanctification is the process by which a person becomes holy. He becomes a saint when he enters heaven, so that process would be called death. He is announced as a saint to the Church through a process known as canonization.
The Church does not make saints, only God can do that. The Church has developed a lengthy and meticulous process called the canonization process to verify that the person is indeed in Heaven and would make a good role model.
