About Mother Teresa (August 26, 1910 – September 5, 1997)  Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Albania, Mother Teresa was the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic congregation of women dedicated to helping the poor. She moved to Calcutta, India in 1929 and taught for 17 years and eventually became a citizen of India. In 1946, Mother Teresa experienced her “call within a call” to devote herself to caring for the sick and poor. In 1979, she received the Nobel Peace Prize for her humanitarian work. She died on September 5, 1997 and was beatified in October 2003.
