Missionaries Of Charity

I received Vatican permissin on 7 October 1950 to start diocesan congregation that would become the Missionaries of Charity. Its mission was to care for, the hungry, the naked, homeless, the crippled, the blind , the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the socity and are shunned by everyone. It began as a small order with 13 members in Calcutta today it has more than 4,000 nuns running orphanages, AIDS hospices and charity centers worldwide and caring for refugees, the blind, disabled, aged, alcoholics, the poor and homeless, and victims of floods, epidemics, and famine.
