Growing in Faith, Love and Community.
Welcome to St Erconwald's Catholic Church,
Walton-on-Thames
Walton-on-Thames
We are pleased that we are now open again for public worship
Those attending need to help us keep the Church safe by social distancing, wearing a mask and sanitising hands.
Our services will be live streamed so that all can participate.
Where possible we encourage those who can to attend in person.
We serve the local community of Walton on Thames bringing the good news of Christ. Pope Francis has invited us to learn again how to be ‘missionary disciples’, people on a journey, filled with the joy of the Gospel. We welcome Catholics and non-Catholics alike and all those interested in learning more about our faith.
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
My name is Fr Ruslan Kurdiumov, and I am delighted to be appointed by Bishop Richard as the new Parish Priest of St Erconwald’s in Walton-on-Thames. Originally from Ukraine, I came to the UK in 2011 to study Philosophy at the University of London. Since my arrival in England, I have been serving at St Joseph’s Parish in Epsom.
I am very grateful to all the Priests who have served St Erconwald’s, and I look forward to building on their work and serving as your Parish Priest.
I am looking forward to the next chapter in my priestly life, serving the community of St Erconwald’s in Walton-on-Thames. I would like to ask all Parishioners for their support and prayers in my first appointment as a Parish Priest.
So, please bear with me as I find my feet among you and get to know all of you in due course.
With Prayers and Best Wishes
Fr. Ruslan

Fr Ruslan would like to thank all the parishioners that welcome him into our community on Wednesday. A special thank to all those who helped and made everything perfect! The welcomers, the helpers during the reception, the donations. And thank you to all the priest and the Bishop for attending.
He feels very lucky to be part of our community. And we are extremely grateful for his appointment! Thank you everyone for making him feel so welcome.

Dear Parishioners
I would like to thank you for your their wonderful welcome on Sunday at my Farewell Mass. I would like to thank you all for your generosity not only last Sunday but during my time with you. I would like to thank also the parishioners of All Saints who contributed to the music on Sunday and for their generous support in my ministry with them.
It would not be right to highlight, at the expense of the many, those who have helped me at different times during my ministry at Walton. They have been many and their work, no matter how humble it may appear, was vital in helping me. There has been “spiritual support” on the way and I could hear the rattling of bottles during the presentations. I had a sense that we are now moving out of the pandemic. Certainly, on Sunday the church was as full as it has been since the start of the pandemic. The bodily coming together of the People of God was the best present that I could be given. However, there are some who are unable to leave their homes and I think of their dedication at this time.
For them the live streaming is a life-line that maintains contact with the parish.
Although “retired” I have not noticed a significant drop in my workload. At least I can pick and choose what I do! No doubt Fr Ruslan will need a break and I will be there if required.
Meanwhile I will continue to pray for you all and look forward to those occasions when we can come together.
Yours in Christ
Fr Bill
RETURN OF A SATURDAY EVENING MASS
Fr Ruslan wants to reintroduce a Saturday evening mass so that he can better serve the needs of the people of Walton. He knows that some have in recent years needed for understandable reasons attended mass elsewhere. Young people in particular often have sports and other Sunday morning commitments He wants to select a time that will work well for as many as possible and he is asking people to indicate the time that would suit them best. Please contact the office with your preferred time. Share with parishioners who may not be attending mass elsewhere or not at all.

MASKS
Dear parishioners,
We understand that the Government has decided that the use of masks is a personal but responsible choice. However, as a Christian community we have the duty to protect our most vulnerable parishioners. And as you can read below, the Bishop has stated that all adults will be expected to wear masks in church to mitigate the spread of infection. I know it is not the most comfortable thing to wear, but it is only an hour and we really need to look after each other.
We are thankfully finally getting people back who have been sheltering for the last 18 months and we would like everyone to feel comfortable and safe at mass. So please wear your masks while entering the church (if you don’t have one, I’m sure the stewards will be able to provide you with one), remember to sanitise your hands and please please please, be kind to our stewards as they are doing an incredible job at keeping everyone safe. Thank you.
