Welcome to the church of St Erconwald! St Erconwald's is a Catholic community in Walton-on-Thames, and is part of the Parish of Weybridge in the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.
Message from Fr RuslanThird Sunday of LentThis Sunday’s Gospel presents us with one of the most beautiful encounters in Scripture: Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. Tired from his journey, Our Lord asks her for a drink. At first glance, it seems an ordinary exchange, yet it becomes a life-changing moment. Christ gently leads her from small talk to truth, from thirst for water to thirst for God. Jesus speaks of “living water” — the grace that alone can satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart. How often do we try to quench that thirst elsewhere: in success, distraction, comfort, or even unhealthy patterns? Like the woman, we can find ourselves searching yet never fully satisfied. But Christ is direct and compassionate. He names the truth of her life, not to shame her, but to free her. This is the heart of Lent: honesty before God and trust in his mercy. Notice the courage that follows her encounter. The woman leaves her water jar behind — a sign that something has changed — and becomes a witness to her neighbours: “Come and see.” An outcast becomes a missionary. This Lent, let us not be afraid to sit at the well with the Lord. Let us allow him to speak plainly into our lives, especially in prayer and in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If we come with humility, he will not turn us away. He will give us living water — and from hearts renewed, faith will naturally overflow into joyful witness. With prayers Fr Ruslan and the Community Pastoral Council Divine Mercy Apostolate Mission

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
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] Thank you very much for your generosity and support to the parish.
