Blessed Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Patron Of Missionaries

Pope John Paul II beatified Saint Mother Teresa of

Calcutta, founder of the Missionaries of Charity, on

October 19, 2003. The Church recognized her as Blessed

Mother Teresa of Calcutta, acknowledged that she

has attained the blessedness of heaven. The healing of an Indian

woman that occurred on the first anniversary of Saint Mother

Teresa's death was recognized by the Pope in 2002 as the miracle

required for beatification.

. St Mother Teresa entered the Loreto Convent in

Rathfamam, Ireland in 1928. She was sent to India in 1929, and

took her final vows there in 1937. After 15 years of teaching history

and geography Saint Mother Teresa "heard the call to give up all

and follow Christ into the slums to serve him among the poorest

of the poor". In 1948, after receiving permission from the Pope,

Saint Mother Teresa left her community to live as an independent

nun. As she began this new chapter, Saint Mother Teresa set aside

the habit she had worn as a Loreto sister and opted to wear the

ordinary dress of an Indian woman: a plain white sari and sandals.

in addition to the never-ending stream of human needs in the

poor she met. Saint Mother Teresa's found more help than she ever

imagined. While young women who would later become the core

of Saint Mother Teresa's order, can to volunteer their services,

others came forward to offer food, clothing, shelter, medical supplies, and money in 1950. Same Mother Teresa founded the

Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity. Nourish by the

faith, true compassion, and the tireless commitment of Saint

.Mother Teresa, The Missionaries of Charity now number 4000

sisters, and nearly 600 foundations in 123 countries.
