Answer 1

I'm afraid there aren't any. Even the US only has a handful...and they just came in the last 30 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sai...

Answer 2

The culture of Puert Rico is predominantly Spanish and the religion is Catholic (85%). Their saints are much the same as anywhere else but will often carry Spanish names.The Spanish first settled on Puerto Rico 500 years ago, so their culture and religion is very well established, with many saints, for example, all towns and villages have their own saints, and saints's days.
