Mamata Banerjee to attend Mother Teresa's canonisation in Vatican
Banerjee said she accepted Mother's Catholic congregation Missionaries of Charity Superior General Sister Prema's invitation to attend the event.
Banerjee tweeted: "I have accepted Sr Prema's invitation to be present at the canonisation of blessed Mother Teresa in Rome on 4 Sep."
Pope Francis, at a meeting of the Cardinals, in March said Mother Teresa of Kolkata will be made a saint of the Roman Catholic Church at a ceremony on Sept 4.
In December, Pope Francis had approved a second miracle attributed to Mother Teresa’s intercession, the final step to make her a saint.
