Answer:

Although no official list of canonized saints in the Catholic Church exists, it would be safe to assume that there are roughly 10,000 officially canonized saints. Because of the nature of canonization, which includes rigorous investigation into the deceased's life and the evidence needed for two miracles, it would not be wrong to say that the 10,000 number is on the low side of the actual amount.
