Eugene realized the need for formal organization, and on 17 February 1826 he received approval from Pope Leo XII to found a new congregation, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate founded on his core of missionaries.
Eugene realigned parishes and maneuvered behind the scenes to weaken the government monopoly on education.

The Blessed Charles-Joseph-Eugene de Mazenod, diocesan bishop and founder of a religious missionary congregation, gave the universal Church a witness of remarkable saintliness.
Eugene de Mazenod’s reputation for saintliness, very vivid among the faithful of the diocese of Marseilles and in France, has spread to all the countries where the Missionary Oblates labor.
The example that Eugene de Mazenod gave by his life remains timely: as religious, by his radical way of following Christ; as bishop, by his love for the Church and by his many pastoral initiatives; as apostle and missionary, by his zeal and fidelity in proclaiming the Gospel.

 Saint Medals
The practice of wearing saint medals probably had its origins in Greece and Rome, where it is known citizens would wear amulets honoring their various gods around their necks.
The wearing of saint medals is unexplainably absent during the Middle Ages, not to be seen again until the 12th century when different Catholic shrines began manufacturing their own medals out of lead to be given as souvenirs of a pilgrim’s visit.
Today calling a person a saint means one of three things: he lives or had lived a holy life; he has gone to heaven, or he has been judged to be in heaven by the Church and so canonized.

De Mazenod did not have the benefit of the modern ecumenical and interfaith movements, but his instinct was ahead of his time.

In fact, when de Mazenod was beatified in 1975, Jean Guitton called him “the stormy bishop,” not only because of his quick temper (for which he apologized quickly), but because of the role he played in French and Vatican politics in a very stormy period.

"Saint" is not an occupation or activity in the sense that "entertainer" is. Someone is a saint because a particular church calls them that.
A "List of saints" article should answer the question "Who are the saints?", just as a List of famous Canadians article should answer the question "Who are famous Canadians?" The answer to that question should be qualified with which church or churches recognize a person's sainthood; that's part of the answer to that question.
Come to think of it, other useful information that might even fit in the table would be "When is this saint's feast day?" (so you can wish someone a happy Name Day and pray for them if you know who their patron saint is, or so you can include their troparion[?] in your daily prayers).

Eugene’s use of a local dialect, the Provençal language, unheard of in the French Church of his time, finds expression in Rule 7g: In proclaiming the Word, it is our tradition to be simple and direct and to speak a language easily adapted to and easily understood by our hearers.

All the angels and all the saints are invoked as a group in the spirit of Eugene de Mazenod whose faith in the Communion of the Saints was as all-embracing and as noble as his apostolic aspirations.
They are followed by Philip Neri (1515-1595), "the joyful saint", Vincent de Paul (1581-1660), "father of the poor", Joseph Calasanz (1556-1648) "the man of total availability", and John Leonard (1541-1609), founder of the Regular Clerics of the Mother of God and co-founder of the Propagation of the Faith seminary in Rome.

The General Roman Calendar indicates the days of the year to which are assigned the liturgical celebrations of saints that are to be observed wherever the Roman Rite is used.
The General Calendar assigns celebrations of saints to only about half the days of the year, and contains relatively very few of the saints recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, whose official list of saints is the 776-page volume Roman Martyrology (which does not claim to contain the names of all the saints legitimately venerated).
As already stated, the saints celebrated in one country are not necessarily celebrated everywhere.
