Pope approves sainthood for Mother Teresa

    Pope Francis today formally approved sainthood for Mother Teresa and set September 4 as the date for her canonisation.

There was no immediate word from the Vatican on the location of the canonisation ceremony, which is expected to take place in Rome with a thanksgiving ceremony held at a later date in the Indian city where Teresa is buried.
