Mother Teresa's Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity, Kolkata
The Mother House of the Missionaries of Charity, located at 54A, A.J.C. Bose Road, Calcutta, is the headquarters of the international religious congregation of the Missionaries of Charity. It has been home to Mother Teresa and her sisters from February 1953 to the present day. It is here that Mother lived, prayed, worked, and guided her religious family of sisters spread across the world. It is here that her body was laid to rest.
On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa and the small community formed by her former pupils was labeled as the Diocesan Congregation of the Calcutta Diocese, and thus received the permission from the Vatican to exist as a Church subject. Their mission was to care for (in Mother Teresa's words) the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone. It began as a small community with 12 members in Calcutta, and today it has over 4,500 Sisters running orphanages, AIDS hospices, charity centres worldwide, and caring for refugees, the blind, disabled, aged, alcoholics, the poor and homeless and victims of floods, epidemics and famine in Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Europe and Australia.
In 1965, by granting a Decree of Praise, Pope Paul VI granted Mother Teresa's request to expand her congregation to other countries. The Congregation started to grow rapidly, with new homes opening all over the globe. The congregation's first house outside India was in Venezuela, and others followed in Rome and Tanzania, and eventually in many countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe, including Albania. In addition, the first home of the Missionaries of Charity in the United States was established in the South Bronx, New York. In the USA, the Missionaries of Charity are affiiated with the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious, a body of female religious, representing 20% of American nuns. They are identified by the wearing of religious habits, and loyalty to church teaching. By 1996, the Organisation was operating 517 missions in more than 100 countries and today is assisted by over one million co-workers and many donations from ordinary people.

INDIA - Calcutta: the legacy of Mother Teresa

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta HD
The remarkable woman who would be known as Mother Theresa began life named Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Born on August 26, 1910 in Skopje, she was the youngest child born to Nikola and Drane Bojaxhiu, Receiving her First Communion at the age of five, she was confirmed in November 1916. Her father died while she was only eight years old leaving her family in financial straits.
Gonxha's religious formation was assisted by the vibrant Jesuit parish of the Sacred Heart in which she was very involved as a youth.
Subsequently moved to pursue missionary work, Gonxha left her home in September 1928 at the age of 18 to join the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, known as the Sisters of Loreto, in Ireland. She received the name Sister Mary Teresa after St. Therese of Lisieux. In December of 1929, she departed for her first trip to India, arriving in Calcutta. After making her First Profession of Vows in May 1931, Sister Teresa was assigned to the Loreto Entally community in Calcutta and taught at St. Mary's School for girls.
Sister Teresa made her Final Profession of Vows, On May 24, 1937, becoming, as she said, the spouse of Jesus for all eternity. From that time on she was called Mother Teresa.
She continued teaching at St. Mary's and in 1944 became the school's principal. Mother Teresa's twenty years in Loreto were filled with profound happiness. Noted for her charity, unselfishness and courage, her capacity for hard work and a natural talent for organization, she lived out her consecration to Jesus, in the midst of her companions, with fidelity and joy.
It was on September 10, 1946 during a train ride from Calcutta to Darjeeling for her annual retreat,Mother Teresa received her inspiration, her call within a call. On that day, in a way she would never explain, Jesus' thirst for love and for souls took hold of her heart and the desire to satiate His thirst became the driving force of her life.
By means of interior locutions and visions, Jesus revealed to her the desire of His heart for victims of love who would radiate His love on souls. Come be My light,'He begged her. I cannot go alone.
Jesus revealed His pain at the neglect of the poor, His sorrow at their ignorance of Him and His longing for their love. He asked Mother Teresa to establish a religious community, Missionaries of Charity, dedicated to the service of the poorest of the poor.
Nearly two years of testing and discernment passed before Mother Teresa received permission to begin. On August 17, 1948, she dressed for the first time in a white, blue-bordered sari and passed through the gates of her beloved Loreto convent to enter the world of the poor.

The land for the St. John's Church was donated by the Maharaja Nabo Kishen Bahadur, the founder of the Shovabazar Raj Family.The foundation stone was laid by Warren Hastings, the Governor General of India on 6 April 1784. Two marble plaques at the entrance mark the two historic events.
Built by architect James Agg, the St John's church is built with a combination of brick and stone and was commonly known as the Pathure Girja[4] (Stone Church). Stone was a rare material in the late 18th century Kolkata. The stones came from the medieval ruins of Gour, and were shipped down the Hooghly River. The minutes book in the church office tell in detail the story of how the ruins of Gaur were robbed to build St John's church.[2]

The church is a large square structure in the Neoclassical architectural style. A stone spire 174 ft tall is its most distinctive feature. The spire holds a giant clock, which is wound every day.[3]
One of the driving forces behind the construction of the cathedral was Chaplain William Johnson, the husband of Begum Johnson.
Job Charnock Mausoleum
On 24 August 1690 an ambitious trader, Job Charnock, of the British East India Company landed in the village of Sutanuti (present day North Calcutta) never to return. Although Charnock died two years later, but he combined the three villages of Sutanuti, Govindopur & Kolikata to form the city of Calcutta.
The octagonal Moorish style tomb was erected by Charnock's son in law Charles Ayer. Built of stones brought all the way from Pallavaram near Chennai, which later came out to be known as Charnockite.[9]
The grave also contains the body of Charnock's wife and several other people, including the famous surgeon William Hamilton
The Epitaph of Charnok's grave is in latin. The English translation is: In the hands of God Almighty, Job Charnock, English knight and recently the most worthy agent of the English in this Kingdom of Bengal, left his mortal remains under this marble so that he might sleep in the hope of a blessed resurrection at the coming of Christ the Judge. After he had journeyed onto foreign soil he returned after a little while to his eternal home on the 10th day of January 1692. By his side lies Mary, first-born daughter of Job, and dearest wife of Charles Eyre, the English prefect in these parts. She died on 19 February AD 1696–7.[10]

INDIA: CALCUTTA: MOURNERS FLOCK TO HOME OF MOTHER TERESA
English/Nat
Mother Teresa, the Roman Catholic nun who devoted her life to helping the world's poor, died on Friday, aged 87.
Her death comes less than a week after the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales, also remembered as a woman of great compassion.
Hundreds of mourners have gathered outside Mother Teresa's home in Calcutta, devastated at the news of her passing.
But there were angry and emotional scenes there on Saturday morning after nuns blocked access to the Chapel where Teresa's body lies.
Mother Teresa's body in the chapel of the Missionaries of Charity order.
Her body lies on a bed of ice .
Teresa's hands are clasped and she wears the simple habit of her order - a blue- trimmed white sari and long-sleeved blouse.
Young nuns who filed past touched and kissed her feet in a traditional Indian gesture of respect.
Mother Teresa, who won a Nobel peace prize for her life-saving work around the world, died in Calcutta, the Indian city where her charitable works began.
Her heart gave out on Friday evening, at home in her convent.
For more than 40 years, Mother Teresa and the order she founded, the Missionaries of Charity, comforted the destitute and cared for the sick and insane.
The 87-year-old nun was adored by millions as a living saint for caring for the human castoffs the world wanted to forget.
Mourners paid their respects as she lay on her deathbed - many greatly saddened by the news of her passing.
Outside her home at her Missionaries of Charity headquarters in a poor central Calcutta neighborhood, hundreds of people were gathered in the rain as news of the death of Calcutta's most famous personality spread.
Many of them were weeping.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I am very distressed and sorry to hear of the death of Mother Teresa. She was a very great person. I'm very sorry.
SUPER CAPTION: Vox pop
Those waiting to pay their respects recited prayers as they stood outside.
Later in the morning, nuns shut the gates at the Charity as the crowds grew large, and halted public access to the chapel.
This caused anger and upset in a crowd wanting to pay their last respects to Mother Teresa - nuns and police tried to calm the emotional mourners.
The funeral of Mother Teresa of Calcutta will be held on Wednesday - the 51st anniversary of the day Mother Teresa received what she said was a calling from Jesus.
A site has been chosen in the Missionaries of Charity's headquarters and nuns are consulting the Vatican before finalising arrangements.
