Welcome to Lorna Kelly's website

Lorna Kelly was born and raised in England. She moved to America where at Sotheby's in New York, she became the First Female Fine Art Auctioneer in the United States.

At the height of her career she was inspired to travel to India to meet Mother Teresa and to work alongside the Missionaries of Charity tending the poorest of the poor in Calcutta, India.

After Mother Teresa's death in 1997, Lorna Kelly was called as a witness for Mother's canonization, and in 2003 traveled to Rome for the Beatification - the first step in the canonization process.

Lorna's first book,

describes this personal journey with honesty and humor.

The Camel Knows the Way is now in its fourth printing and includes an epilogue describing the ceremony and the spiritual impact it had on Lorna.

Over the years Lorna's spiritual adventure has taken her into diverse new settings, both in the United States and abroad... from Asia to the Middle East, from Park Avenue to the South Bronx.

This past year Lorna's life was put on hold as she dealt with breast cancer.  Now on the other side of that ordeal she has resumed her very active life.

Lorna continues to work as a charity auctioneer at charity events and to give talks on her experiences. And yes, she is currently working on another book.
