Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity: The Heart of Giving

Did Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity become defunct after her passing?

a) True
b) False

Answer:

False

The missionaries of charity, founded by Mother Teresa, have continued their incredible work even after her passing. In fact, the organization is still active today, spreading love and compassion to those in need around the world.

In 1990, Mother Teresa faced declining health and asked to resign as the head of the missionaries. Surprisingly, she was voted back in as Superior General. Six months before her death on March 13, 1997, Sister Mary Nirmala Joshi replaced her. In 2009, Sister Mary Prema succeeded Sister Mary Nirmala as the head of the organization.

Despite the changes in leadership over the years, the missionaries of charity have never become defunct. Their mission of helping the poorest of the poor continues to inspire and make a positive impact globally.
