Well honey, there ain't no Saint Grant in the Catholic church. You must be thinking of someone else, maybe Saint Francis of Assisi or Saint Anthony of Padua. But Grant? Nope, not on the list. Next time, try asking about someone who actually made the cut.
Andrew was never officially canonized as a saint as that process was not fully implemented until the 11th century. He was acclaimed as a saint by the early Christians based on his life of service and his martyrdom. Today only the pope can declare saints.

The highest honor in the Catholic church is to be canonized (made a saint). However saint is a postmortem title (it is only awarded after death). To call her a living saint was to say she was worthy of canonization even though she wasn't dead yet.
St. Jude was not made a saint by a particular church; he was one of the original 12 apostles chosen by Jesus. After his death, he became known for his intercession in desperate situations, leading to him being recognized as the patron saint of lost causes.
