Quod singularem Dei impulsionem, ut ei persuasum erat, perceperat, ordinem Lauretanum deseruit atque Congregationem Missionariarum a Caritate condidit, "quarum id propositum est infinitam Iesu in Cruce pendentis sitim placare amoris et animarum, dum ad salutem et sanctificationem pauperrimorum inter pauperes sua dirigunt opera".[3].
Die 1 Februarii anno 1965, Paulus Papa VI ordini Decretum Laudis tribuit.[4] Congregatio pauperibus servit et fere toto orbe terrarum propagata est. Plus quam 4500 sorores in 133 terris habitant, ordini sunt 710 domus, inter quas valetudinaria pro moribundis (Bengalice: Nirmal Hriday id "cor purum" signat, quod decretum primum anno 1952), aegris, qui lepra aut SCDI aut phthisis affecti sunt, hominibus tecto non receptis et liberis.[5] Etiam orphanotrophium creavit anno 1955.
Teresia etiam congregationis ramum feminarum contemplativum fundavit, praeterea Patres et Fratres Missionarios a Caritate, motum nomine "Corpus Christi" sacerdotibus destinatum ac Consociationem adiutorum, qui omnibus ex gentibus oriundi sunt.
