Impact of Mother Teresa's work, prayer still felt 13 years after death
WASHINGTON — Thirteen years after her death, the impact of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta's work and prayer is still felt around the world.
Mother Teresa would have turned 100 Aug. 26. The order she started 60 years ago -- the Missionaries of Charity -- continues its outreach to the "poorest of the poor." Her spiritual life also continues to gain attention as her sainthood cause progresses.
Many say Mother Teresa's legacy is the combination of her extreme devotion to the poor and her spirituality since both were so deeply intertwined.

Mauthes build friendships while giving time to their parish
APPLETON — Jim and Mille Mauthe's calendar revolves around various volunteer activities. "Our volunteer work is spread out," said Millie. "April and the beginning of May is the American Cancer Society Sole Burner. June and July is the St. Bernadette rummage sale. August is the Fox Cities Marathon. We cut the Mylar to wrap the runners in when they come in and help get the bags ready."
Those are the major events they participate in but the two are active volunteers year-round. Millie had a wonderful role model when she was growing up. The family belonged to St. Joseph Parish and her mother did a lot of volunteering there.

ALLOUEZ — Jamie Schuh of St. Nicholas Parish, Freedom, won national honors in the 2010 Catholic Daughters of the Americas' education contest. Schuh was awarded second place in essay and third place in art. She had previously placed first in both categories at the state level. The contest, which this year featured the themes "The Joys of God Surround Us" and "The Joys Life Brings Through Others," enables students and community members to compete in art, essay, poetry, computer art, photography and music.
"I've taken a couple classes in basic design and writing has always come naturally to me," said Schuh, a freshman at Concordia University in Mequon. "It's really nice to be a part of this. It gives you an opportunity to showcase your talents."
