When I read about Mother Teresa House, I knew that this was the place that I wanted to spend my summer in service to others. I didn’t know much about hospice, or caring for anyone but myself, but there was something that struck me. It gave me the opportunity to have hands-on experience caring for, and entering into genuine relationships with those that I would encounter at the house. It also allowed me to explore an often-overlooked tenant of Catholic social thought– the dignity of life through natural death.

Looking back, I cannot help but be in awe of how the presence of God has worked through Mother Teresa House.
