'''Saint Teresa of Calcutta''' (baptismal name Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu; 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), commonly known as Mother Teresa, was an Albanian-Indian [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] nun who founded the [[Missionaries of Charity]] in [[Kolkata]], India, in 1950. For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the rapid expansion of her congregation, first in India and later in over 130 countries. According to verified Church records, she experienced a "call within a call" on 10 September 1946 while travelling by train to [[Darjeeling]], prompting her to leave the [[Sisters of Loreto]] and live among the poorest of the poor. | '''Saint Teresa of Calcutta''' (baptismal name Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu; 26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), commonly known as Mother Teresa, was an Albanian-Indian [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] nun who founded the [[Missionaries of Charity]] in [[Kolkata]], India, in 1950.
