2010 Mother Teresa - 44 cent stamp

The 2010 USPS issue honors Mother Teresa (1910–1997), the beloved Catholic nun and humanitarian who devoted her life to serving the poorest of the poor.

Born in Albania and spending decades in Calcutta, India, Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity and established hundreds of schools, hospitals, and hospices around the world. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and was canonized as Saint Teresa of Calcutta in 2016.

A meaningful collectible for those inspired by her extraordinary life of compassion and service.
