The Vatican is now busy in making preparations for the canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta is set to be canonized on September 4.

Mother Teresa is popular for her compassion to the poor and AIDS Victims which made her garner the Nobel Prize in 1979.

She was widely recognized by world and religious leaders all over the globe.

She died in 1997 at the age of 87.

One of the keys to make Mother Teresa a saint by the Roman Catholic Church is Father Brian Kolodiejchuk. He is a member of the Missionaries of Charity Fathers and has spent the past 17 years gathering evidences to qualify Mother Teresa into sainthood.

“After the mass, when we were saying goodbye, she said, ‘I want to pin a cross on you’, I was so shocked I didn’t say anything”, then-seminarian Kolodiejchuk said. He added he just walked our the door and left to go back home to Winnipeg in Canada.

Year later Kolodiejchuk was ordained a priest and since then, he travelled between the Missionaries of Charity Fathers houses in Rome and Tijuana in Mexico.
