Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Sanctuary of Our Lady of Letnica a place of pilgrimage
A Catholic Marian sanctuary where the young Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, later St. Teresa of Calcutta, discerned her religious vocation during the Assumption pilgrimage. This is a documented vocation relationship and living shrine, not Mother Teresa's birthplace, baptismal church, or tomb.
Follow the pilgrimage that shaped Mother Teresa's vocation and meet the small Catholic community that still keeps Letnica's Marian feast.
