Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun who founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950. Born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910 in Skopje, she dedicated her life to serving “the poorest of the poor” in the slums of Calcutta. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and was canonized in 2016.
