St. Teresa of Calcutta

Religious Sister, Founder of the Missionaries of Charity, "Mother Teresa"

Born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu to an Albanian family, she left a stable teaching order to found the Missionaries of Charity, dedicating her life to 'the poorest of the poor' on the streets of Calcutta — becoming, in her own lifetime, perhaps the most recognized face of Christian charity in the modern world.
