"I'm sure this will have potent theology, but it will all be carried out in the simplicity of stories," said Jim Towey, president of the Benedictine college in Latrobe, and Mother Teresa's legal counsel from 1985 until her death on Sept. 5, 1997. She was beatified Oct. 20, 2003.

Conference speakers will include Sister M. Nirmala, her successor as head of the order; Agi Guttadauro, her only niece; the Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk, who is leading her cause for sainthood; and several of her closest friends and traveling companions. Speakers and attendees are coming from all over the world, including people who adopted babies from her first orphanage -- with their now-grown children.
