US US-kylobm TMC-RG8-i · Record subgroup · 1991-1998
Part of Thomas Merton Collection

This records subgroup includes papers collected by Lou Torok of his correspondence and friendship with Mother Teresa of Calcutta (Saint Teresa of Calcutta, M.C.). While serving a prison sentence in Kentucky the last decade of his life, Lou Torok petitioned a number of United States governors to proclaim October 7 (some chose another day) as Love Day. October 7 was the anniversary of the day Mother Teresa received permission to establish the congregation that would later be known as the Missionaries of Charity. The Missionaries of Charity observe October 7 as a special day of prayer for those who were hungry, suffering, or abandoned. The collection contains mostly original copies of the gubernatorial proclamations of Love Day in the mid-1990's from various states. There are also writings by and about Lou Torok and information about Mother Teresa receiving the Bellarmine Medal from Bellarmine College (now Bellarmine University).

The documentary "Work of Love" was filmed, recorded, and produced in 1981 by Michael Nabicht and Bob Sullivan, alumni of Bellarmine. The Bellarmine Medal was awarded to Mother Teresa on December 7, 1981 in India by then-President of Bellarmine, Dr. Eugene V. Petrik. Mother Teresa came to speak at Bellarmine in June of 1982. Mother Teresa wrote in 1990 to congratulate Dr. Petrik on his retirement as President of Bellarmine. She wrote again in 1991 while Dr. Petrik was ill.
