No Greater Love, a film highlighting the incredible life and love of Mother Teresa, will be in theatres for only two days this October. 

Mother Teresa of Calcutta is well-known for her selfless giving and serving the destitute as if they were Christ. She did this through her foundation, the Missionaries of Charity. 

Born in 1910, Mother Teresa lived until she was 87 years old and died on September 5, 1997. 

Twenty-five years after Mother Teresa’s death, Fathom Events will present an exclusive two-day-only event, Mother Teresa: No Greater Love, in theaters Monday, Oct. 3, and Tuesday, Oct. 4. 

"Mother Teresa taught us that there are no expendable people," Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Patrick E. Kelly says in an interview. "Everyone we encounter is made in the image of God. So, when she was feeding the hungry or holding the hands of someone as they lay dying, she was treating them as she would the most important person in her life, Jesus Christ himself. And, in all of this, she was teaching us to have a heart that sees, and if we can learn to see as she did, the world would be a radically different and, I would say, better place."

The film was shot on five continents and produced by the Knights of Columbus.

On top of showcasing her charity work and great faith, the documentary also addresses Mother Teresa’s admitted periods of spiritual darkness while serving the poorest of the poor, and her friendship with another revered saint, Pope John Paul II.

"Mother Teresa’s incredible acts of kindness changed the world," says Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events. "We are proud to partner with the Knights of Columbus to bring this film to theaters nationwide and hope that it can not only shine a light on this saint of our times but to change lives in the process."
