Which archangels are recognized by the Catholic Church?

OpenAI's Answer

The Catholic Church officially recognizes three archangels by name:

  1. St. Michael
  2. St. Gabriel
  3. St. Raphael

These are the only archangels mentioned by name in Sacred Scripture. The Feast of these three Archangels is celebrated on September 29th. Other traditions and texts may mention additional archangels, but these three are officially recognized by the Catholic Church.
