Best Answer

St. Augustine of Canterbury lived and died before the formal process of canonizing saints was established. Thus, there is no date of canonization, nor is it possible to name the pope who canonized him. St. Augustine of Canterbury, like all the saints from the first 16 centuries or so of the Church, was "canonized" by the popular devotion of the people. St. Augustine of Canterbury died in May 25, 605 AD. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints finds its roots in the work of the Congregation of Rites, which Pope Sixtus V created on January 22, 1588.

Augustine was declared a saint by popular acclamation before the canonization process was instituted in the 11th and 12 the centuries. He was not canonized.

Like many saints from the first millennium, she was not formally canonised by a Pope. However, St. Brigid is recognised by the Vatican as being a saint. --- Church practices were very different in those early Christian days. Saint Brigid of Ireland was ordained a bishop by Saint Mel or Saint Mac-Caille in and around 468. She then founded two religious institutions, one for women and one for men. She was the abbess and bishop of Kildare together with Saint Conleth whom she chose as co-leader.
