Why pilgrims come
Discover the sacred objects and Catholic memory preserved here
A state memorial museum on the site of the former Sacred Heart Catholic church where Gonxhe Bojaxhiu was baptized. The house displays a documented second-class relic—her white sari—while its chapel hosts Catholic services; the building is not her childhood home and remains a museum rather than a Catholic-run shrine.
Study Mother Teresa's Skopje childhood through documented objects, the site of her baptismal church, and the small Catholic chapel above the museum.
