President Donald Trump’s National Garden of American Heroes could potentially come into fruition within the next several years with the recent passing of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which allots $40 million to create a park that Trump first proposed during his first term.

According to the executive order, this national garden would consist of over 200 individuals who embodied “the American spirit of daring and defiance, excellence and adventure, courage and confidence, loyalty and love.”

Among those on the list are five Catholic saints: St. Junípero Serra, St. John Neumann, St. Katharine Drexel, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and St. Kateri Tekakwitha, as well as three Catholics whose cause for canonization are ongoing: Venerable Fulton Sheen, Venerable Augustus Tolton, and Servant of God Dorothy Day.
