Kiongozi wa kanisa Katoliki duniani Papa Francis ametangaza kwamba Mother Teresa atafanywa mtakatifu Septemba mwaka huu.
Sherehe ya kumtawaza kuwa mtakatifu itafanyika tarehe 4 Septemba.
Njia ya kumfanya mtakatifu ilifunguliwa Desemba mwaka jana baada ya Vatican kutambua muujiza wa pili uliohusishwa naye. Muujiza huo alipokea mwanamme raia wa Brazil ambaye alipona saratani kwenye ubongo wake.
Mother Teresa alipewa tuzo ya amani ya Nobel kutokana na huduma yake kwa raia maskini kwenye vitongoji vya jiji la Calcutta nchini India.
Alizaliwa 1910 eneo ambalo kwa sasa hujulikana kama Macedonia na wazazi wa asili ya Albania na kupewa jina Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu.
Alipewa uraia kamili wa India baada ya kuanzisha kikundi cha watawa cha Missionaries of Charity mwaka 1950.
Alifariki 1997 akiwa na umri wa miaka 87. Alifanywa mbarikiwa mwaka 2003.
========================
Pope Francis has formally approved sainthood for Mother Teresa and set September 4 as the date for her canonisation.
The move comes 19 years after the death of the missionary nun who dedicated most of her adult life to working with the poor of Kolkata, India.
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.
The Albanian nun, 87 when she died in 1997, was revered by many Catholics and won the 1979 Nobel peace prize for her work with the poor.
But she was also a divisive figure, with critics branding her a religious imperialist whose fervent opposition to birth control and abortion ran contrary to the interests of the communities she claimed to serve.
Teresa took the first step to sainthood in 2003 when she was beatified by Pope John Paul II.
It followed a fast-track process involving the recognition of a claim she had posthumously inspired the 1998 healing of a critically-ill Bengali tribal woman.
Last year she was credited by Vatican experts with inspiring the 2008 recovery of a Brazilian man suffering from multiple brain tumours.
This then met the Church's standard requirement for sainthood of having been involved in two certifiable miracles.
