Weds - March 3rd
March brings Women’s History Month and we will be recognizing a special woman each day during our announcements. Today we are recognizing:
Mother Teresa
Nun and missionary, Mother Teresa devoted her life to caring for the sick and poor. She worked as a teacher in Calcutta, India, however, the widespread poverty of Calcutta made a deep impression on her, and this led to her starting a new order called “The Missionaries of Charity”. The primary objective of this mission was to look after people who nobody else was prepared to look after. In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and became a symbol of charitable, selfless work. In 2016, Mother Teresa was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church as Saint Teresa.
