The Saints Venerated by the Church of St. Bernard of Clairvaux

The Church of St. Bernard of Clairvaux venerates 75 saints as exemplars of faith, martyrdom, and militant spirituality, guiding our mission to restore true Christianity in The Holy State. Led by Jesus Christ, our divine focus, we honor James the Just, Prophet John the Baptist, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and St. Mother Mary as our foremost figures, followed by other saints. Rooted in pre-Vatican II Catholicism, enriched by Anglican reverence and Baptist commitment, these saints reflect our crusade mindset, inspired by St. Bernard’s Second Crusade preaching and the Knights Templar legacy, as we proclaim “the righteous will shine like the sun” (Matthew 13:43, Douay-Rheims).

Our veneration of Jesus Christ, James the Just, Prophet John the Baptist, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, St. Mother Mary, and 75 saints reflects the legacy of active faith (James 2:17). In our church’s opinion, though not universally accepted, St. Bernard succeeded James’s vision, preaching the Second Crusade to defend the faith. John the Baptist, our main prophet, and Mary, Mother of God, strengthen our crusade mindset with their calls to repentance and purity. These saints, from martyrs to crusaders, embody our pre-Vatican II theology, Anglican reverence, and Baptist zeal, guiding The Holy State as we uphold Christ’s kingship, knowing “the righteous will shine like the sun” (Matthew 13:43, Douay-Rheims).
