US pilgrims gathered at the Vatican to celebrate the newly declared St. Teresa of Kolkata said it was about time Mother Teresa officially had the title.
Organised diocesan and parish pilgrimages generally had a priest-chaplain with them, celebrating daily Masses and joining them on tours. But many people came on their own or with their immediate family; the Missionaries of Charity - priests, brothers and nuns - organised Masses and tours for them, too.
At the Basilica of St. Anastasia on September 2, English-speaking pilgrims -- most of whom were not part of a tour group -- gathered for a Mass celebrated by Indian Cardinal Telesphore Toppo of Ranchi.
