After this, the entire responsibility of upbringing came over to her mother. She was youngest of 5 siblings. Along with her studies, she loved to sang.
India Arrival:
Sister Teresa came to Calcutta, India in May 1931. She began working as a teacher however the widespread poverty of Calcutta made a deep impression on her and this led her to start a mission " The Missionaries of Charity". The prime objective of this mission was to look after the people who didn't have no one to look after them. She helped sick and suffering people of many faiths and nationalities and shared her spirit of prayer and simplicity. In 1981, Mother Teresa also began the Corpus Christ movement for Priests as a little way of holiness those who desire to share in her charism and spirit.

The whole of Mother Teresa's life and labour witness to joy of loving and caring the dignity of every human. On March 13, 1997 she stepped down from the head of Missionaries of Charity and on September 1997, Mother Teresa's earthly life came to an end when she took her last breath.
