About St. Mother Teresa:
Saint Mother Teresa, born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, Macedonia, is renowned as one of the most beloved and revered figures of the 20th century. Her unwavering devotion to serving the poorest of the poor earned her the title of "Saint of the Gutters" and made her a global symbol of compassion and selflessness. At the age of 18, she joined the Sisters of Loreto and embarked on her mission to India, where she spent most of her life caring for the destitute and sick in the slums of Kolkata.
Mother Teresa's tireless dedication to the marginalized and suffering was the cornerstone of her life's work. In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation committed to providing care, love, and support to those in dire need. Her simple and humble lifestyle, coupled with her profound faith, served as an inspiration to millions worldwide. Mother Teresa's selfless acts of kindness and her commitment to the service of humanity led to her canonization as a saint by the Catholic Church in 2016, ensuring that her legacy of love and compassion endures as a beacon of hope for generations to come.
