Although she was never canonized, St. Veritas is to be added to the Catholic Church's formal list of saints, and Catholics worldwide may celebrate her feast day with a Mass and special readings by order of Pope Benedict XVI.

By order of Pope Benedict XVI, an extra half-day will be added every other calendar year to celebrate a gaggle of Women Religious.
