Indian Railways to launch Mother Teresa Express


(Aug.04,2010) As India prepares to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Blessed Teresa of Kolkata on August 26, Indian Railways plan to launch a train named in honour of the “saint of the gutters” as she was popularly called. "We have decided to launch the new train after Mother Teresa, as a tribute to her on occasion of her birth centenary," said Mamta Banerjee, the federal railway minister. She said that the train’s carriages will be painted blue, to recall the trademark border of the white cotton saris worn by the Missionaries of Charity, the religious order that Mother Teresa founded. Keeping the route of the new train a secret, the federal minister said it would certainly connect important destinations in the country.
Meanwhile, a documentary film on Mother Teresa, produced by Sunil Jindal and titled “The Living Legend Mother Teresa” was released 30th July at the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India Centre, New Delhi, by Archbishop Vincent M. Concessao. “Living Legend Mother Teresa” is among 18 films that will be screened across major cities in India during Mother Teresa’s birth centenary
