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.

The church is now open for pubic Masses but because we are still in lock down there are limits as to what can happen inside a church outside the public Masses. Therefore I will not as yet be introducing Exposition.
Easter Music: We will need to give thought to the celebration of the Triduum. At this stage I hope that there will be live music at each of the main Services over this time: Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Maundy Thursday, The Veneration of the Cross on Good Friday, the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday and at the two Masses on Easter Sunday. Could musicians let me know whether there are sufficient people to make this happen. I still assume that there will be no congregational singing but that choirs can sing. In particular I am looking for volunteers to sing the Responsorial Psalm during the Easter Vigil. I would like a list of suggested hymns within the next two weeks so that a final order of service can be established.
I have posted the first three Stations of the Cross using the artwork of a German artist Sieger Koder onto the web site. I will continue to do so throughout Lent until we reach the last station.
They can be accessed at www.sterconwalds.org.uk/stations.html
To keep us all safe I still need volunteers for stewards from those who attend the 9.15 am and 11.15 Masses on Sundays. Thanks to those who have come forward. Please let me know if you are willing by emailing me at mail@sterconwalds.org.uk
I will hold a Zoom Coffee morning on Monday this week from 10.30 am until 11.00 am so that I can chat to parishioners whom I have not seen for ages. It would be good to see how some of you are getting on in these challenging times.
Here is the Zoom Invitation

May I remind you that the Sunday Obligation to attend Mass bodily has been suspended by the Bishops at the moment.
During Lent this year there will be a Diocesan Mission that will be run by the diocesan formation Team using Zoom. I have asked Susana to link in and to brief me about what is planned because the timing conflicts with the January Diocesan Meeting. More information next week.
