19 years after Mother Teresa's death Pope Francis declares Mother Teresa of Calcutta a Saint. The Pope's pronunciation of the rite of of canonisation at the start of
the Mass for the nun was met by thunderous applause this Sunday.
The nun during her lifetime who worked among the
world's poorest in the slums of the Indian city now known as Kolkata. She was a symbol of compassion and was Nobel peace laureate.
Millions of Catholics revere the nun as a model of compassion, and
more than 100,000 people were expected at the mid-morning ceremony in
front of St Peter's Basilica, decked out with a canvas of the late nun
in her trademark blue-hemmed white robes.
