Missions of Charity

Our last day in Kolkata we visited the mission founded by Mother Teresa. We passed this old trolley car on the way




We attended mass and sat beside her tomb. The room was half filled with nuns and half with local residents and a few people like ourselves.



The mass was given by a priest ordained the day before. He was a bit nervous but had a few words of thanks at the end of the mass that made it a moving moment.


Outside the building, a sturdy and well maintained building by the looks of it, there were signs of the flavour of politics in Kolkata.
