Mother Teresea

The woman known as Mother Teresa was born in 1910 in what is now known as the Republic of Macedonia. She came from a comfortable family that were deeply religious and devoted to the Roman Catholic Church. They were very committed to helping

those less fortunate. This would be the legacy that her family gave to her as Mother Teresa became one of the most well-known and beloved religious members that were devoted to the poor.

 She traveled to Ireland and then later to India. Once she took

her First Profession of Vows, she was sent to Calcutta, India as

a teacher at Saint Mary’s High School for Girls that was operated

by the Loreto Sisters. The order was dedicated to teaching the

girls of some of the poorest Bengali families and it was here that

speak both Hindi and Bengali. Her hopes as a teacher was to

help eliminate the poverty of the girls through education.

Mother Teresea cared for the sick and the blind. She was born on

26th August 1910 and diedon 5th September 1997. Mother

Teresea
