Is it true that Joan of Arc was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1920?

Yes. Multiple independent sources state that Joan of Arc was canonized as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church in 1920, several naming Pope Benedict XV and 16 May 1920. One further source confirms her canonization by the Catholic Church without giving the year.
