Mother Teresa, born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu (August 26, 1910 – September 5, 1997),
was an Albanian Roman Catholic nun who founded the Missionaries of Charity.
She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her humanitarian work.
For over forty years, she ministered to the needs of the poor, sick, orphaned,
and dying of Calcutta (Kolkata).
As her religious order grew she expanded her ministry to other countries.
By the 1970s she had become internationally famed as a humanitarian and advocate
for the poor and helpless, due in part to a documentary, and book, Something
Beautiful for God by Malcolm Muggeridge.
Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and designated Blessed
Teresa of Calcutta.
However, she and the order she founded have attracted criticism in latter years
with respect to care of the sick and destination of financial contributions.
