To understand beatification, it is best placed within the entire canonization process context:
First, you have to die. Once you have been dead at least 5 years a cause
for sainthood can be opened. The local bishop or other religious leader
will assign someone to collect all sorts of documents and conduct
interiews about the life of the candidate. Once they have all the
information, the file will be sent to the Sacred Congregation for the
causes of Saints in Rome. They will study the file and, if it seems the
person exhibited some form of heroic virtue, that person will be declared
a Servant of God and an official Cause for Sainthood will be opened.
More investigations and interviews will be conducted and if the person
passes all favorably, they will be named as Venerable.
Next, more investigations and at least one miracle must be confirmed and
verified due to the intercession of the candidate. If all goes well, the
candidate will then be Beatified by the Pope and receive the title of
Blessed (beatified). Mother Teresa of Calcutta is at this stage right now.
In the final stage, more investigations and at least one more miracle must
be verified. Once all that has been done, the file is turned over to the
pope who will make the final decision. It will be up to the pope to
declare a person a saint and then arrangements are made for the official
canonization cerimonies.
This process can take many years, even centuries.
Of course, the person became a saint the moment they entered heaven. The
Church just needs to investigate to make sure the candidate is worthy of
emulation and makes a good role model for future generations.
Beatification is a recognition by the Catholic Church that a deceased person lived a holy life and is now in heaven, with the potential to intercede on behalf of those who pray to them. It is a step towards canonization, or official declaration of sainthood. Beatification allows for public veneration of the individual in certain circumstances and locations.

No, "Mother Teresa" had her Beatification in October of 2003. The Beatification process can take decades before Sainthood.

A beatification reliquary is a container or shrine that holds relics of an individual who has been beatified by the Catholic Church. These relics are typically bones, clothing, or items associated with the individual, and they are venerated for their connection to the beatified person's sanctity and life. Beatification is a step in the process of canonization, which is the formal recognition of a person as a saint.
