## Bio

Born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Skopje in 1910, she left for Ireland at 18 to join the Sisters of Loreto, then moved to India, where she would spend most of her life. In 1950 she founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, a congregation devoted to "the poorest of the poor" that grew to operate in over 133 countries with more than 4,500 nuns running homes for those dying from HIV/AIDS, leprosy, and tuberculosis, along with soup kitchens, clinics, orphanages, and schools. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, but her work drew scrutiny for poor conditions and lack of pain relief in her facilities. She was canonised by the Catholic Church on 4 September 2016. She died on 5 September 1997, a date now observed as her feast day.
