Agnes Bojakhiu was born in Skopje, Yugoslavia of Albanian parents. Her father was
a prosperous merchant. She was attracted to the life of missionary in India at a very
carly age. At eighteen, taking the name of Teresa in the memory of Little Flower of
Lisieux, she entered the Missionary order of the Loreto Sisters and on January 20,
1931, she stepped off a steamship onto the quay at Calcutta, then the largest city in the Empire after London. For sixteen years, she taught Geography to the daughters
of well-to-do British and Bengali society in one of the most prestigious convents in
Calcutta. One day in 1946, however, during a train journey to Darjeeling, a town on the slopes of the Himalayas, she heard a voice. God was asking her to leave the comfort of her convent, to go and live among the poorest of the poor in the vast city beyond. Having first obtained the permission from the pope, she changed into a
plain white cotton sari and founded a new religious order whose vocation was to relieve the misery of the most neglected of men. In 1950, the order of Missionaries of Charity was born, a congregation which thirty-five years later would have two hundred and eighty-five thousand charitable foundations throughout India and all the other continents, including countries behind the Iron Curtain.
