September 5, 1997: Mother Teresa, the Angel of Calcutta, dies at the age of 87. Mother Teresa, the Macedonian nun who dedicated her life to helping the poorest people of the Indian city of Calcutta and those in need across the world, died on this day in 1997. September 5th 2019, death anniversary of our beloved St. Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa MC) is observed as International Day of Charity.
Mother Teresa, known for her undying dedication towards the downtrodden people and who devoted her life to work for the poorest of the poor in the slums, The International Day of Charity was officially declared by the UN General Assembly in 2012. This day also got support of the Hungarian Civil Society with the support of the Hungarian parliament and Government.
The Catholic Association of Bengal (CAB) under the Leadership of President, Mrs. Angelina Mantosh Jasnani and Team organized a prayer service on Thursday the 5th of September 2019 to pay tribute to Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta at Allen Park, Kolkata on her 22nd Death Anniversary. His Grace, Most Rev Archbishop Thomas D’Souza, Vicar General, Father Dominic Gomes of the Archdiocese of Calcutta, Sister Prema, the Superior General of the Missionary of Charity, Hon’ble Mayor Firhad Hakim and Hon’ble Minister Javed Ahmed Khan were present for the Prayer Service among other distinguished delegates who paid floral tributes to the Saint.
There were many school children from Park English, Albany Hall, St. Thomas Day School, Harrow Hall, Loreto House, St Aloysius and Loyola High School who participated in the prayer service. The choir of Park English School sang Mother’s favorite hymns ‘Make me a Channel of your Peace’ and the famous Bengali hymn which our Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sang in Italy on the way to Vatican. “Bisho Pita Tumi Hey Probhu’
Archbishop Thomas D’Souza thanked the President of the Catholic Association of Bengal and the members for organizing the prayer service. On Behalf of CAB, we thank each and everyone for taking out time and coming together in honor of St. Mother Teresa. God bless you all.
