Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

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.
