I worry some of you still have not really met Jesus—one-to-one— you and Jesus alone. We may spend time in chapel—but have you seen with the eyes of your soul how He looks at you with love? Do you really know the living Jesus—not from books, but from being with Him in your heart?

The charity has 19 homes in Kolkata; each of them working for a specific cause, e.g. Nirmal Hriday - the home for pure heart, working for the sick, dying and destitute in the city of Kolkata. Other homes include Shanti Nagar - the city of peace, meant for leprosy patients and Nirmala Shishu Bhawan, meant for orphaned kids.

The Missionary also works for educating the street children of Kolkata.

Apart from Calcutta, the Missionaries of Charity and its foundations are also active in countries like Venezuela, Rome, Tanzania and Austria.

Calcutta mother teresa heritage federal credit union At our distribution center in Long Island City, Queens, one of our staff members wrote :. The receptionist will inform us that Mother Teresa is at the front door requesting a few minutes of our time. That sets the office staff into great excitement because Mother, though her visit is always a short one, always has time to visit all of the staff and express her thanks for their share in her shipments. Our latest global campaign, Join Hands , was launched with this principle in mind. Her father died when she was eight, and her mother opened an embroidery and cloth business to support her family.

There are also dozens of its foundations in Asia, Africa, Europe and United States. The sister concerns of Missionaries of Charity, like Missionaries of Charity Sisters and Missionaries of Charity Brothers, are also equally active in the arena of social work, throughout the world. From to , Mother Teresa headed the organization. After her heavenly journey, Sister Mary Nirmala Joshi took over.

Currently, Sister Mary Prema is heading the Missionaries of Charity.
