To celebrate Mother Teresa's canonisation ceremony in Vatican on September 4, sisters of Missionaries of Charity, which was founded by her will celebrate the occasion with the poor for whom the nun worked all her life.
"We will express our gratitude to God at a special mass. We will rejoice with the poor people with special food and drinks ... We want to continue with our dedication," Sister Lysa, Assistant Superior General of the Missionaries of Charity (MoC), told reporters here.
She said it will be an unforgettable day for the sisters of the organisation which they will celebrate with the poorest of the poor.
A group of around 40-50 nuns from different parts of the country will be present at the ceremony led by Missionaries of Charity Superior General Sister Mary Prema, she said.
Archbishop Thomas D'Souza said altogether 45 bishops from all over India will be travelling to the Vatican.
To mark the occasion a series of events will be held in the city where the Mother lived and worked.
The events include a film festival, installation of her statue, a walk by faithfuls from Loreto Convent to Mother House, art exhibition, cultural programs and special masses.
