"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."
In her teens, Agnes became a member of a youth group in her local pairsh called Sodality. Through her involvement with their activities guided by a Jesuit priest, Agnes became interested in missionaries. At age 17, she responded to her first call of a vocation as a Catholic missionary nun. She joined an Irish order, the Sisters of Loretto, a community known for their missionary work in India. When she took her vows as a Sister of Loretto, she chose the name Teresa.
When she was quite young, she felt the desire to spend her entire life for God and His work. For this decision, she was helped by a father to whom she confessed her desire. At the age of 18 she joined the Loreto Sisters who were very active in India. She was trained in religious activities. She choose the name Sister Teresa. In 1929 Sister Teresa was assigned to teach at the St Mary's Convent School in Calcutta, India.
