Vatican/Kolkata, Mar 15 (IBNS) Pope Francis, at a meeting of the Cardinals, on Tuesday said Mother Teresa of Kolkata will be made a saint of the Roman Catholic Church at a ceremony on September 4, 2016.
In December, Pope Francis had approved a second miracle attributed to Mother Teresa’s intercession, the final step to make her a saint.
 
Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997) was born in Skopje (modern Macedonia) and was named Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu. After having lived in Macedonia for nearly 18 years, she moved to Ireland and then to India.
 
She arrived in India in 1929, and began her novitiate in Darjeeling, West Bengal.
 
With permission from the Vatican, she started the Missionaries of Charity in 1950.
 
She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
 
In 2009, she was beatified as Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (Calcutta is the former name of Kolkata).
