Pope Benedict XVI announces seven new saints

Posted: Updated:

(KYTX) - The Catholic church is making history today.

Pope Benedict XVI announced seven new saints, including the first-ever Native American.

The Pope says the seven were heroic role models who dedicated their lives to the service of others.

Most of the new saints are missionaries, under-scoring the pope's priority of bringing lapsed Catholics back to the church.
