Meeting Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa, the Saint of Calcutta, visited Peoria, Illinois in 1960, emphasizing the importance of being helpful rather than successful. Her teachings, encapsulated in “No Greater Love,” reflect her commitment to serving the poor and embody the essence of love, generosity, and faith in God as a Christian. Enjoy the photos from her memorial.

I’m glad you found this post about Mother Teresa. I’d love for you to visit an updated version at this link. Enjoy the photos I took during my visit to this magnificent church in Peoria Illinois.
