LIVE EVENT: Canonization of Mother Teresa of Kolkata
The Holy Mass and Canonization of Blessed Mother Teresa, to be led by Pope Francis, will take place at 4:30 pm Manila time Sunday, September 4

MANILA, Philippines – Mother Teresa, the revered but controversial nun whose work with the dying and the destitute made her an icon of 20th Century Christianity, will be declared a saint on Sunday, September 4.

The elevation of the Nobel Peace Prize winner to Catholicism’s celestial pantheon comes on the eve of the 19th anniversary of her death in the Kolkata slums with which she is synonymous.

Around 100,000 pilgrims are expected in Rome for Sunday’s ceremony, around a third of the total that turned out for Teresa’s beatification, seen as the last major outing for John Paul II who died in 2005.

The Holy Mass and Canonization of Blessed Mother Teresa, to be led by Pope Francis, will take place at 4:30 pm Manila time. You can watch the live stream of the mass here, courtesy of Radio Vaticana. – With reports from Agence France-Presse / Rappler.com
