HAYES, Fr Liam, SVD, (Hogar Virgen de Luján y Hogar Teresa del Ni-o Jesús, Oberá, Misiones, Argentina and formerly of Cappamore, Co. Limerick) - December 7, 2014 in the Integral Clinic, Obera, Argentina, after a short battle with cancer, beloved brother of Donncha, the late Angela, Pat, Marion, John, Tom, Bernadette, and Seamus, uncle of Fr Donncha Ó hAodha and 27 other nephews and nieces, along with 25 grandnephews and grandnieces. Sadly missed by his fellow-priests and Brothers of the Divine Word Missionaries, SSpS Sisters, the patients and staff of the three Cheshire Homes he founded in Obera, as well as the many benefactors and volunteers in Ireland, Britain and Argentina, who supported him unstintingly in his selfless devotion to the children and elderly abandoned by society. On December 10, after Requiem Mass celebrated by Mons Damian Bitar, Bishop of Obera, his mortal remains were finally laid to rest in the Rosary Garden he created in the Cheshire Homes. Requiem Mass will be held by the SVD in the College Chapel, St Patrick's College, Maynooth, at 11.30am on Saturday, December 13. ]"Requiescat in pace"
