MESSAGE FROM FR RUSLAN He is risen indeed! Happy Easter! We celebrate the Solemnity of the Resurrection of our Lord, who has triumphed over death and opened the gates of Heaven for all who accept the gift of salvation. Today’s Gospel reminds us that “they did not yet understand the Scripture that He had to rise from the dead,” as seen in the reactions of Mary of Magdala, Simon Peter, and the Apostle John. The Resurrection of Christ is a vital point that transforms our lives. By rising from the dead, Jesus marks a new beginning, instilling in us the hope that through His suffering and death, we too can share in His Resurrection. We have a new life always laid out before us, and this life is in Our Risen Lord. Happy Easter to all of you, dear parishioners of St. Erconwald Catholic Church. With prayers from Ruslan and the PPC 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. |

Collection
YOUR EASTER AND CHRISTMAS OFFERINGS: Dear parishioners, A gentle reminder that parish priests do not get paid a salary and are remunerated from Mass stipends and from the Easter and Christmas Offerings. Easter offerings go to Fr Ruslan as your personal gift. If you are planning to donate via bank transfer, please use the reference 'Easter Offering' or 'Christmas Offering'. Thank you in advance for your generosity. All money paid into the collection is used to cover the parish's expenses. Our challenge is to grow our parish's financial income to support our parish priest, maintain our premises and resource the many activities of the parish. This can be achieved by more people giving and/or people giving more generously. Please consider what you can do to help. We have special funds for projects and maintenance. Any questions on gift aid or if you need a form please email Kevin Kilburn on [email protected] |
