Cathedral dedicated to St Mother Teresa


KOSOVO

The first Catholic cathedral in Kosovo, on Pristina’s Bill Clinton Boulevard, has been dedicated to the ethnic Albanian St Mother Teresa of Calcutta, on the first anniversary of her canonisation, writes Jonathan Luxmoore. 

“For centuries, Muslims and Christians have gone to places of worship here to find answers to their problems – this cathedral will forever remind our children and future generations who St Teresa was,” said Kosovo’s Muslim president, Hashim Thaci.

“It is a celebration of Mother Teresa’s love, a lesson for all of us that love always triumphs – that the one who is transgressed and who suffers will find light and peace.”
