In September of 1928, 18-year-old Mother Teresa said goodbye to her family to travel to Ireland and then on to India. Initially she went to the Loretto Abbey in Rathfarnham, Ireland, to learn English, the language the Sisters of Loretto used to teach school children in India. She arrived in India in 1929.
