I just gave you one link about Saints. Here is another that actually gives you the biblical references for why Catholics pray to saints: https://www.ncregister.com/blog/4-biblical-proofs-for-prayers-to-saints-and-for-the-dead

There are many others if you try want to delve into it. I am no theologian so I cannot draw you to biblical references. I do know there are more books in a Catholic bible than a Protestant one, however.

Being raised Catholic I never questioned it. It’s tradition. We celebrate All Souls’ Day and All Saints’ Day. And everyone who goes to Heaven becomes a saint.
Some lived lives that the Catholic Church recognizes.

Again we do not worship them nor do we worship their statues.

Just so you know praying to saints dates way back to the very early church. And the first Christian Church was Roman Catholic.
