Majka Tereza

Majka Tereza, born Gonxha Agnes Bojaxhiu on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, is renowned for her humanitarian work and strong faith that led her to dedicate her life to serving the poorest of the poor. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, which grew to include over 5,000 sisters operating nearly 600 missions worldwide to provide help to the needy. Her legacy continues to inspire millions, and she was canonized as a saint by Pope Francis in 2016.
