MOTHER Teresa of Calcutta paid her first visit to Wales yesterday to open a convent in a terrace house which once belonged to legendary boxer Jimmy Wilde.
Arriving in Swansea in a wheelchair after damaging her ankle in Dublin two days ago, the 86-year-old Albanian born charity worker was met by a delegation from the Roman Catholic diocese of Menevia, which covers West Wales.
The two bedroom house is sited at the bottom of a steep hill tumbling towards Swanseas city centre. Neighbours looked in wonder out of their windows as a police escort arrived and Mother Teresa was helped into the sunshine from a limousine - 17th June 1996

Mother Teresa of Calcutta Opens Convent in Wales
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured on June 17,1996, we witness the historic moment when Mother Teresa of Calcutta graced Wales with her presence to inaugurate a convent. The esteemed Albanian-born charity worker arrived in Swansea, albeit in a wheelchair due to an ankle injury sustained just days prior in Dublin. Greeted by a delegation from the Roman Catholic diocese of Menevia, encompassing West Wales, the 86-year-old icon embarked on her mission. The chosen location for this sacred endeavor was no ordinary building; it was none other than the former residence of legendary boxer Jimmy Wilde – a humble terrace house nestled at the bottom of a steep hill leading towards Swansea's bustling city center. As word spread throughout the neighborhood, curious neighbors peered out their windows in awe and wonder. Their gazes met with astonishment as a police escort accompanied Mother Teresa's arrival. With gentle assistance from her entourage, she emerged into the warm embrace of sunlight from an elegant limousine. This poignant image serves as a testament to Mother Teresa's unwavering dedication and selflessness. It captures not only her physical frailty but also her indomitable spirit that transcends all boundaries - geographical or otherwise. Let us cherish this snapshot forever as it immortalizes an extraordinary woman who devoted her life to serving humanity and spreading love across nations.
