Volunteering

For several years now it has been possible to accommodate volunteers at St Teresa’s Home in Oberá. Volunteering offers a chance to witness the work of Fr Liam Hayes and his staff and to use your particular talents in the service of the poor.



Although no particular skill is expected of prospective volunteers, those with medical, nursing or related therapeutic skills can make a much-needed contribution.

“The experience of Irish standards of nursing care have contributed greatly to the welfare of the residents here,” says Fr Hayes. “We hope this can continue. But the most important thing is that our volunteers be loving and caring. A sense of humour helps too.”

You can come for whatever period of time you are free – from a few weeks to three months or more.

An ability to speak Spanish is very helpful, but not essential.
