Explanation

Mother Teresa passed away in 1997 and was buried at the Calcutta headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity (MoC). She was beatified, the first stage in becoming a saint, in 2002 by Pope John Paul II. Mother Teresa's beatification has now paved the way for her canonisation. She will be called Saint Teresa after canonisation.
