This week, Cathedral students and staff had the blessing of hearing from Patrick Norton, a local man whose life was directly impacted by St. Mother Teresa.
Born on the streets of India, Pat shared how Mother Teresa rescued him as a baby and brought him to an orphanage with the Missionaries of Charity. Years later, he was adopted by a family in Connecticut and came to the United States at age 14.
When asked about Mother Teresa’s greatest impact on his life, Pat’s answer was simple: “She saved my life.”
He reminded us of Mother Teresa’s call to “do little things with great love” and that we each have our own “Calcutta” right here.
A powerful reminder as we celebrate St. Mother Teresa as Cathedral’s patron saint this year. 💙
