∙ 15y agoYes and no. Saints are people in heaven or on their way to heaven. All Christians dead and alive are saints. Mother Teresa is this type of saint. Mother Teresa has not yet been canonized by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church selects some of the most extraordinary examples, does in-depth research, and canonizes them. "By canonizing some of the faithful, i.e., by solemnly proclaiming that they practiced heroic virtue and lived in fidelity to God's grace, the Church recognizes the power of the Spirit of holiness within her and sustains the hope of believers by proposing the saints to them as models and intercessors."

∙ 11y agoMother Teresa (26 August 1910 -- 5 September 1997), was a Catholic nun of Albanian ethnicity and Indian citizenship, who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata, India in 1950. For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries. Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
Mother Teresa had first been recognised by the Indian government more than a third of a century earlier when she was awarded the Padma Shri in 1962. She continued to receive major Indian rewards in successive decades including, in 1972, the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding and, in 1980, India's highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna.
Mother Teresa gave her whole life to helping those in need. So special & so rare a person she was.
