Mother Theresa Stamp Issued

St. Louis -- Small in stature but a giant among her peers and those she helped, Mother Teresa was honored with her own postage stamp. Today that stamp was part of a special dedication at a St. Louis soup kitchen.

The stamp was unveiled at Missionaries of Charity Soup Kitchen on Spring Avenue in St. Louis. Missionaries of Charity is a group that Mother Teresa founded in 1950.

Mother Teresa served the sick and destitute of India and the world for nearly 50 years. She was an inspiration to countless people who wanted to make a difference in the world.

The sisters who work at the St. Louis soup kitchen take a vow of wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor, just like Mother Teresa.

The US Postal Service announced in early September it was releasing the Mother Teresa stamp.
