At the age of 18 she left for India (Calcutta) where she devoted herself to the poorest people in that country. In 1950 she founded the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic congregation of women dedicated to the poor, which today has more than 5,000 members and is active in 134 countries. With no fewer than 323 homes, they take care of many poor children worldwide. She was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 19th October 2003 and canonized by Pope Francis on 4th September, 2016.
