Catholics do not celebrate every saint's feast day as elaborately as those such as St.s Patrick, Valentine, Nicholas, etc. merely because there are so many saints. At daily mass their names may be mentioned and we remember them and reflect on their lives. We think about what they did to promote Christ and honor them for their efforts and reflect on how we can imitate them imitating Christ.
