I'm just curious, but is there a Church of Heironious in Sasserine? Or should I force him to be a Paladin of St. Cuthbert.?

IMO anything should be permitted. You might put a shrine to Heironeous in town, or just let him be the only one.
That said, I think it's often (not always) better roleplaying for the PC to fit in smoothly with the campaign world (like going with St Cuthbert, in this case).
Bottom line, allow anything that doesn't break the campaign.
My two cents :)

If you look at the Savage Tide Player's Guide you will see that there is indeed a Shrine to Heironeous in the Sunrise District. It's number 19 on the map. Heironeous is certainly the logical choice for the Patron of a paladin but not the only choice. Mayaheine, who also has a shrine in Sunrise, was a paladin before she was granted divinity.
If you track down a copy of Dragon #306 (April 2003) & Dungeon #104 (November 2003). They have Paladins of Greyhawk with lots of nice fluffy bits for many of the Good-aligned gods. Plus a crunchy feat for each if you desire to go that way.
Yeah, don´t change yourself short. If there is a shrine of the god in question, it fits perfectly, but even if you want another one, the PC obviously has just arrived from afar. Also, consider the Paladin of Freedom from Unearthed Arcana if you have it - basically, chaotic good paladins. Although a LG paladin probably fits better considering the enemies in the AP.
