A special mass for Mother Teresa at the Immaculate Conception Church in Panaji.
As Mother Teresa was made a saint today, churches and chapels across Goa celebrated the occasion by holding special services praising her.
Archbishop of Goa and Daman, Reverend Father Filipe Neri Ferrao, who is currently in the Vatican, had issued a circular asking all parishes to celebrate the canonization of Mother Teresa.
"During the service today, we recalled some moments of her (Mother Teresa's) life to invite devotion towards her," Father Francis Caldeira, attached to St Tome Chapel in Panaji city, said.
Father Caldeira said that during her India assignment, Mother Teresa saw so much of misery around which changed her life and she became mother of so many distressed people on the streets.
He said there will also be a service for whole of the church on September 13, the day of her funeral, at Se Cathedral Church.
The Archbishop of Goa and Daman had formed a special committee inviting suggestions from the people for a fitting celebration.
