JOIN US FOR BY DENVER CATHOLIC STAFF M illions are expected to con- verge in Rome this Septem- ber for the canonization Mass of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who will be proclaimed a saint by the Catho- lic Church only 19 years after her death Sept. 5, 1997, at the age of 87. For local faithful who cannot make it to Rome, the Denver community of the Missionaries of Charity are inviting the public to join them in celebrating the canonization of their founder. Leading up to the canonization, the sisters will host a 9-day novena in spir- itual preparation for the canonization. Beginning Aug. 26, the sisters will open their chapel, at 633 Fox St., to the public from 6-7:30 p.m. for a prayer ser- vice that will include exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, a rosary, a talk, a novena prayer and Benediction. The novena will conclude Sept. 3. On Sunday, Sept. 4, Archbishop Samuel Aquila will celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving at 5 p.m. at St. Joseph Church, 600 Galapago Street, in honor of St. Teresa of Calcutta. On Monday, Sept. 5, the feast day of St. Teresa of Calcutta, a Mass will be held at 6pm at St. Joseph Church. "Please join us in gratitude to God for the gift of our new saint," the local superior, Sister Damascene, told the Denver Catholic. The small community of Mission- aries of Charity here in Denver is com- posed of four sisters, and they live at St. Joseph Parish. The sisters run a short-term women's shelter calledªGift of Mary Shelter. Mother Teresa visited Denver twice, once in 1986, and again in 1989. It was during the second visit that she announced the foundation of a com- munity of the Missionaries of Charity in the archdiocese.
