Mother Teresa of Calcutta died on Sept. 5, 1997, at the age of 87. St. John Paul II greeted and blessed St. Teresa in St. Peter's Basilica a few months before, on June 29, 1997. One of the last times these saints were seen together.
Today is the tenth anniversary of Mother Teresa’s canonization. Pope Francis declared her a saint on Sept. 4, 2016 — just over a dozen years after she was beatified by her friend and fellow saint, Pope John Paul II.
St. Teresa of Calcutta, who was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, gained fame around the world for caring for the poorest of the poor and sharing Christ’s love with them. She founded the Missionaries of Charity, the religious order that carries on her work today around the world.
