Revd Catherine Tucker started her career in contemporary dance and choreography during which period she collaborated with contemporary visual artists and was drawn to study the philosophy of aesthetics as a mature student. This was followed by a calling to priesthood and she trained at Westcott House Cambridge gaining an M.Phil is the Philosophy of Religion with a focus on body theology. She served her curacy with Forest Hill Team Ministry where she was also chair of Street Pastors Lewisham and then went on to become Vicar of Holy Saviour Church Croydon combined with being Area Dean of Croydon North setting up Public Spirit young people's project.   Catherine has known Dover and its surrounds for the past 7 years and joined the Dover Town Team Churches in 2021 and has a particular interest in where 'faith and the body meet' such as in walking and pilgrimage. 
 
 
  Melissa felt called to be a priest in her late teens but before training was encouraged to get some life experience. After working as a legal secretary Melissa was ordained in 2016 and joined the Dover Town Team in September 2019. Melissa is married to Antony. In their spare time they enjoy walking and exploring the countryside.
 
Melissa has particular pastoral responsibility for St Martin's Dover and will be working across the team to offer support and encouragement in developing a prayerful life within the community and spiritual growth within families.
