The Catholic Chaplain is Fr. Ged Walsh
Ged Says: Hi, for the past two years I have been the part-time ecumenical assistant chaplain here at the University of York and have now taken over as full-time Catholic Chaplain. I am a Carmelite friar and priest.
Before beginning my formation as a friar I worked as a senior radiographer in a busy Liverpool hospital which has the biggest Accident and Emergency unit in the country! So, having been an undergraduate in both Birmingham and in Dublin, I have experience of an amazing university life where my faith grew to be an integral part of my life. I hope my work at the university exists to be of service to all staff and students regardless of faith.
I am available to all students and staff for conversations ranging from God to giraffes, there is usually a cup of coffee and biscuits to accompany this. As I am part-time the rest of my week is taken up with hospital chaplaincy work at our city's hospital.
I can be contacted at the Catholic Chaplaincy in More House or if you see me around campus please do say hi!
