Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was a wonderful woman and a great influence on the world today. She was born in 1910 in Macedonia with the name Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She was born into a family of deeply religious Catholics. Agnes felt she got the calling to work for God at the young age of fourteen. She joined the Loreto order and went to Bengal, India, to start her studies. In 1937, Agnes took her final vows to become a nun and has done much great work in the world since. Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born on August 27, 1910 to Nikola and Drana Bojaxhiu in Skopje, Macedonia. Drana and Nikola were Albanian and both were very deeply religious Roman Catholics. Nikola was a popular merchant and a partner to an Italian merchant. He owned several houses and was a member of the Skopje town council. Whenever Agnes’ father would return from a trip, he would always bring his children presents. Also, he promoted his daughters’ education, which was uncommon in that time period. Nikola also was involved in an underground organization that worked to gain independence for the Albanians from the Ottoman Turks, who ruled Macedonia around the time Agnes was born. Agnes grew up around much fighting. When she was born, there were Albanian protests
Mother Teresa and the other sisters in Cocorote fixed up an old ruined hotel that they planned to use as their headquarters. It had been previously used as a dump and was very hard to renovate. The Missionaries soon had the hotel up and running and they taught the women how to type and sew. They also taught elementary school to the children and anyone who wanted to learn. In the 1960s and 1970s, over ten new houses were opened for the Missionaries of Charity in South America. In 1968, Mother Teresa was given a special request from the Pope.
