 Mother Teresa — one of the most famous saints to emerge from the 20th century for her work helping the poor in India — is the focus of a new documentary that will hit U.S. theaters in October following the film’s recent Rome premiere.

“Mother Teresa: No Greater Love”, produced by the Knights of Columbus, will be in nearly 1,000 theaters across the United States for an exclusive two-day only event from Oct. 3 to 4. The documentary is part of Fathom Events’ “Saint Series”, a collection of films that delves into the lives of Catholic saints.
