According to reports, she could be canonised on Sunday September 4, 2016, the eve of the 19th anniversary of her death in 1997.
In 2003, due to a healing miracle found soon after her death, Pope John Paul II beatified her. A second miracle healing is needed before she could be considered for sainthood.
Earlier this year, it emerged that Father Elmiran Ferreira Santos, told church authorities a man in his parish recovered from brain tumours when his wife prayed for Mother Teresa's intervention.

The tumours suddenly disappeared and the man walked out of intensive care just two days later.
Doctors could not give any explanation for this miraculous incident.
