The Mother's House

The Mother House is the modest entrance to the world headquarters and residential quarters for the Missionaries of Charity and has been ’home’ to Mother Teresa and her sisters since 1953. A simple building with neat floors and purely functional features. The chapel upstairs faces the busy road. The simplicity and strength of the building depicts the lifestyle of its sisters. It is a bright, airy and peaceful place, an ‘oasis’ for the people in the midst of the noise.

It is here that Mother Teresa’s mortal remains rest.
