Mother Teresa death anniversary commemorations

Overview

September 5 marks the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the Albanian-born nun who became a global symbol of charity and service to the poor. After arriving in India in 1929, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950 to care for the “poorest of the poor,” including those suffering from leprosy, AIDS, and the dying in the slums of Calcutta.

Her humanitarian efforts earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2003 and canonized as a saint by Pope Francis in 2016 following the recognition of two miracles attributed to her intercession. Born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in 1910 in Skopje, her legacy remains significant in Albania and North Macedonia.

In observance of her death anniversary, the community in San Rafael has scheduled a commemoration for Saturday, September 5, featuring a procession and a Holy Mass at the Cáritas chapel. Her mission continues through the Missionaries of Charity, which has expanded to serve the destitute in over 130 countries worldwide.

Additionally, September 5 is recognized as the International Day of Charity. Established by the United Nations General Assembly, this day honors Mother Teresa’s legacy and aims to promote global solidarity, volunteerism, and philanthropy. Commemorations of her legacy are observed worldwide, including religious services in Shkodër, Albania, and diplomatic tributes from the United States and European Union embassies. These observances highlight her humanitarian values of solidarity and dignity, while encouraging modern philanthropic efforts through volunteering and community support.
