Mother Teresa, the diminutive and nun who ministered daily to the abandoned and dying in the slums of Calcutta, also had the attention and admiration of aristocrats and world leaders. She amazed and inspired countless people across the globe by her simple, humble lifestyle and her unbridled compassion for the poorest of the poor.

The Knights of Columbus Museum observed the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s birth on Aug. 26. The day’s activities included a birthday celebration, the unveiling of the new USPS postage stamp memorializing Mother Teresa (to be released Sept. 5), and a presentation and book signing by writer and speaker Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, author of Mother Teresa and Me: Ten Years of Friendship.

The Knights of Columbus Museum is featuring an exhibit, Mother Teresa: Life, Spirituality and Message, to honor the memory of this holy nun on the path to sainthood. Join the Knights in celebrating her life and contributions to the welfare of so many, at the Knights of Columbus Museum.
