- 1. St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, Macedonia, is widely revered for her unwavering commitment to humanitarian work and her selfless dedication to the poorest of the poor. After moving to Ireland and later to India, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950, an organization that focused on providing care for those who are destitute, sick, and abandoned. Mother Teresa's profound empathy and compassion guided her life’s mission, as she worked tirelessly in the slums of Calcutta, addressing the needs of the dying, the homeless, and those suffering from leprosy and HIV/AIDS. Her approach emphasized not just meeting physical needs but also offering spiritual solace and dignity to every individual, often stating that the greatest disease in the world today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. In recognition of her incredible work, she received numerous awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. Mother Teresa was canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church on September 4, 2016, and she continues to inspire millions around the globe through her message of love, charity, and compassion.
