Mother Teresa: Minister to the Poor

Mother Teresa devoted her life to helping the poor in the worst slums of Calcutta.

This dedicated woman knew this was the path she wanted her life to take early on.  As a girl of twelve, Mother Teresa, a devout Catholic, had already decided to minister to those who most needed care.

She went to Calcutta, started teaching, and soon founded a new order, The Missionaries of Charity.

Her name and image have become synonymous with compassion and activism.
