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 and for 1 hour after mass.
However remember that we still need to discern whether it is wise to attend, given personal vulnerability and infection rates - remember we are still being asked to stay home and protect the NHS. 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.
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 Bill's Update
"I am pleased to announce that Bishop Richard has appointed Fr Ruslan to be Parish Priest of St Erconwald's, Walton-on-Thames and he will take up his new appointment at the beginning of September.
He has been an Assistant Priest here with us for ten years now and when he first arrived here, he was fluent in Ukrainian and Polish and had just about one word of English which I believe was " Liverpool football"!
Today, he has an excellent command of English and has grown exponentially over the years in his pastoral care of all our parishioners in all their needs. Ruslan came to our parish through the kindness and generosity of one of our Parishioners and their family in memory of their Polish mother (a devout Catholic) who came from the part of Poland that was taken over by the Russians after WW2 and is part of the Ukraine.
He began learning English with enthusiasm and determination and went on to study for an MA in Philosophy, gaining a distinction and he is continuing his studies with Roehampton University as part of a doctoral programme. He has recently been incardinated into our Diocese and has become a British citizen. I would like to thank Father Ruslan for his work in our Parish and for his friendship and I wish him every happiness in his new appointment as Parish Priest of St Erconwald's, their gain is very much our loss, but I am sure that he will stay in touch with many of you and myself.
Bishop Richard informs me that his replacement here will be announced in the near future. Please keep Father Ruslan and his new parish in your prayers.
With prayers and best wishes,
Fr Bill, Fr Ruslan, Sr Margarite and Sr Fionnuala"

Our Fr Bill writes: Although there is a certain relaxation in some of the COVID restrictions we are still asked to be cautious and keep one metre apart in enclosed spaces even though we may be wearing masks. While people may wish to have conversations with people whom they have not seen for a long time it is important that those conversations take place outside and in areas that blocks the smooth exit of people from the church.
In line with the Bishops’ request to increase the COVID capacity of our churches by reducing the social distance to one metre for those wearing masks, there will be space for two bubbles per bench in the church. This will be important for funerals and it enables some parishioners to attend the First Communion Masses on the Saturday afternoon if they so wish.
However booking is still essential for any parishioners wishing to attend the First Communion Masses to ensure that the church remains within the COVUD guidelines. First Communion families are entitled to one bench each. Parishioners should only book for one of the Masses in the first instance to give others a chance. The Masses will take place on Saturday 3rd July, 10th July, 17th July and 24th July. All Masses will start at 2.00 pm.
John and Ola will be departing during the weekend of 17/18th July to start a new venture in Cumbria in the north of England. There will be an opportunity to say goodbye to them during the weekend 10/11th July. The Parish is grateful for all that they have done during their time here.
Advance Warning: The First Communion Masses will be taking place at 2.00 pm on the first four Saturday afternoons during the first four weeks of July. On those Saturdays there will be no morning Masses though the opportunity for Confessions will continue.
With the relaxation of the pandemic restrictions 30 people are now allowed at Baptisms. The Offertory Procession can now take place and the priest will at Communion now say “Body of Christ” to which each person responds Amen. Altar Servers can now start to fulfil their role. However there can be no singing on the part of the Congregation and masks and social distancing regulations are still in place.
I am very grateful for the work of the stewards in ensuring that we are all safe and that social distancing is maintained as far as is possible. Without their generous help the church would not legally be able to open. It is important therefore that we show our appreciation for what they do by complying with their instructions. It would be very helpful if some of you could help with the cleaning of benches after Mass on Sundays so that it is not left to the generous few.
First Communion and First Reconciliation: I will be meeting groups of parents and children on the Sacramental Preparation Course face-to-face to introduce them to the Church and to what will happen when they Make their First Communion in July. These meetings will take start at 5.30 pm on Wednesdays and 3.30 pm on Saturdays and last no more than an hour.

Announcement
Cardinal Newman in Hersham is a friendly oversubscribed two-form entry Catholic primary school, serving the children of our local Catholic parishes.
97% of our pupils are Catholic and we work closely with our parish priests to support their faith development through a Catholic RE curriculum, Mass in school and regular charity work. We are a feeder school for Salesian School in Chertsey and about 90% of our pupils go on to Salesian in Year 7.
In our recent Teaching and Learning Review, the outcomes were extremely positive:
“The quality of teaching is very strong with fantastic consistency.”
“All lessons were well paced and optimised learning.”
“All pupils are actively engaged in their learning.”
Due to families moving out of the area over the summer,
we are likely to have one or two spaces in Y4 and Y5 for September 2021.
If you are interested in finding out more, please visit our website : www.cardinalnewmanschool.co.uk or arrange to meet us in person by emailing: admissions@cardinalnewmanschool.co.uk We look forward to hearing from you.
