South London Catholic University Chaplaincy

Who Are We?

The Catholic University Chaplaincy in South London is an agency of the Archdiocese of Southwark.

The Chaplaincy Team is made up of:

Ms Joan Tierney
Chaplain to Guys, St Thomas’ and St Georges Medical Schools.

Joan is the Roman Catholic lay Chaplain for St. George’s.

She has worked in education and Pastoral Care for many years in different parts of the UK and Europe as well as in the USA. Her interests include music, walking, theatre and making new friends. She divides her time as Chaplain between St. George’s and the Guy’s site of King’s College.


Louise Walton

Chaplain to Greenwich University

(Maritime and Avery Hill Campuses)

Louise is the Roman Catholic Chaplain for Greenwich Maritime and Avery Hill campuses. She studied History and Ancient History, and then Mediterranean Studies at Exeter University, specialising in issues of religion, church and belief.
Whilst at Exeter she was very involved in the Catholic community, particularly the Catholic Society, and in the Methodist and Anglican community, serving as an assistant to the Anglican Chaplains for six months.
Leaving university in 2003, Louise became a Catholic Parliamentary Intern. After this, she worked in theEcumenical Department of the Church of England before taking up the post at Greenwich.
Louise thrives on food, films, books, comedy, and music in general. Whether listening, singing, playing the guitar or clarinet, she loves music of most types - even more so if she can join in with it somehow. She is approachable and always ready for a good conversation if offered. When she has time , she loves to go swimming, to travel or go walking either in London or outside.
