The Scalabrinian Stella Maris Center in Montevideo is a place for hospitality, recreation, spiritual and comprehensive wellness, where seafarers and fishers can feel at home. It is, in another way, “a Home away from home” for all who work on the sea.
This center supports over 5,000 people of the sea every year. Some of the services provided include accommodation, food, sanitary supplies, support for access to decent housing, rent, utility bills, and other financial support to seafarers, fishers, and migrants.
