I believe the answer is:

teresa

(Other definitions for teresa that I've seen before include "Mother...saintly nun of Calcutta" , "Mother . . . . . ., saintly nun of Calcutta" , "Girl's name" , "Does 'e stare at the girl?" , "Nun who was dedicated to helping the poor of Calcutta" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
