MOTHER Teresa of Calcutta paid her first visit to Wales yesterday to open a convent in a

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 Former Home of Boxing Legend

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the historic moment when Mother Teresa of Calcutta made her first visit to Wales. Despite a recent ankle injury, the 86-year-old Albanian-born charity worker arrived in Swansea in a wheelchair to open a convent in an unexpected location: a humble terrace house that once belonged to legendary boxer Jimmy Wilde. As she descended from a luxurious limousine into the warm sunshine, onlookers peered out from their windows with awe and admiration. The Roman Catholic diocese of Menevia had gathered to welcome this holy figure who dedicated her life to serving others. The two-bedroom house stood at the bottom of a steep hill leading towards Swansea's bustling city center. This unconventional choice for establishing a convent only added intrigue and curiosity among locals. This image captures not only the physical presence of Mother Teresa but also symbolizes her unwavering commitment to spreading love and compassion across borders. Her visit serves as an inspiration for all, reminding us that acts of kindness can transcend boundaries and touch lives wherever they are needed most. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this photograph immortalizes an extraordinary moment when spirituality met sportsmanship—a testament to the power of faith and humanity coming together for greater good.
