7 of Indian origin to be Canonised

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 28. Even as Catholics in the country eagerly await the Canonisation of Mother Teresa, seven Sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary (FMM), founded in India in 1877, will be raised to Sainthood by Pope John Paul II on October one.

The seven Sisters are among the 120 Bishops, priests, lay people and religious persons ``martyred'' in China in 1900 and will be Canonised by the Pope at the St. Peter's Square in Rome.
