Accessing Support – University of Law

Chaplaincy services for the University of Law are located in the Emmanuel Centre, next to the Parkinson Building on Woodhouse Lane. A chaplain can also visit you in your office, home or other mutually agreed location. The Chaplaincy is here for staff and students.

Chaplains are available for drop-in visits and for appointments, and we have a 24/7 emergency phone service.

Use the Chaplaincy:

  • Whether you have a faith (Christian, Jewish, Muslim etc.) or have no religious beliefs.
  • When you need someone independent and confidential to talk to.
  • If you’re finding life difficult or you have a tricky decision to make.
  • If you have lost someone close to you.
  • If want to explore spirituality.

We are here to support you pastorally, or in faith.

Hi, I’m the Catholic chaplain for the universities in Leeds. I started working at the chaplaincy in 2019.

Having grown up in Kent, I came to Leeds to study at Trinity & All Saints College (now Leeds Trinity University). I graduated from the University of Leeds and worked as a primary school teacher before realising that God was calling me to the priesthood. I’ve studied at seminaries in Spain and in Rome, and was ordained priest in July 2014. I’m also the chaplain to Leeds Trinity University in Horsforth, as well as the director of the youth service for the Diocese of Leeds – let me know if you’d like to be involved with any youth events!

Whilst I was born in England, my parents are Egyptian and Armenian Lebanese. I speak French at home, and have also learnt Italian and (some!) Spanish.

I’m excited to continue my ministry in the chaplaincy. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and getting to know you. I’m happy to have chats about absolutely anything – whether it’s about the Catholic faith, about religion in general, or anything else, such as sport, film, music, or any other interests you may have – no questions are off limit!

You can choose to see any of our chaplains, or ask to be referred to an advisor of another faith. Call the main office on 343 5071 to check availability or just drop in.
