yes, thats right.

The last of my loose change, which was destined to buy a beer, went towards the Tsunami relief fund. (the bar i was in, all tips and collections go to relief fund).

I sacrificed a beer for the good of mankind, i am a saint.

Steps to Sainthood
In the 10th century, Pope John XV developed an official canonisation procedure, which went through some revisions in the ensuing 1,000 years.

The process must begin five years after the candidate's death.

Local bishops investigate the life of the candidate and the findings are sent to the Vatican.

After approval by a panel of theologians and cardinals, the pope proclaims the candidate is "venerable," meaning a role model of Roman Catholic virtues.

The next step is beatification if it is determined by the church that the candidate is responsible for a miracle after his or her death.

Finally, for the designation of saint, the church must certify proof of a second posthumous miracle.
