Question

why did mother Teresa choose india for her philanthropic services​

Answer 1

• In 1928, at the age of 18, Agnes left her family to become a missionary in India. She joined the Sisters of Loreto. She was sent to Ireland to learn English because India was ruled by the British at the time. There Agnes took her first vows as a nun in 1929 and changed her name to Sister Mary Teresa. She chose the name Teresa because her favorite saint was Saint Teresa of Lisieux, a patron saint of missionaries.
