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 RuslanSt Erconwald's Feast DayDear Parishioners, A very happy Feast Day to you all as we celebrate our patron, St Erconwald. This is a joyful and special day for our parish, a time to come together in thanksgiving for our community and for the witness of a saint whose story is closely linked to this part of the country through the founding of Chertsey Abbey. St Erconwald was known for his deep faith, care for ordinary people, and commitment to the life of the Church. As the founder of Chertsey Abbey, he established a place of prayer and worship that became a centre of Christian life. He understood the importance of community, prayer, and caring for those in need. His example still speaks to us today as we continue to build a parish where people feel welcomed, supported, and at home. In this Sunday’s Gospel (John 17:1–11), we hear Jesus praying for His disciples before His Passion, asking that they may remain united and faithful. It is a reminder that the Church is not simply about buildings or structures, but about people brought together by faith in Christ. I would like to thank you all for the part you play in the life of our parish — through your prayers, generosity, support for one another, and the many small acts of kindness that often go unseen. These are the heart of parish life and a real witness to the Gospel. As we celebrate our feast day together, may St Erconwald continue to pray for our parish, our families, and our wider community. May his example help us to remain strong in faith, close to one another, and always ready to welcome others with kindness and hope. Happy Feast Day to you all. With prayers and every blessing, Fr Ruslan and the CPC Easter OfferingsAs we prepare for Easter, parishioners who wish to make an Easter offering for our priest are warmly invited to do so. If you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid can be applied to your donation, and this allows the parish to reclaim an additional 25% at no extra cost to you.
Although the collection is taken by the parish, all Easter offering donations (including the Gift Aid uplift) go directly to support our priest. If you donate by regular standing order, please make a separate payment with the description, "Easter". You can also donate online or via Dona by choosing Easter as the category. Thank you for your generosity and for all you do to support the life of our parish. Parish Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela - June 9-16 2026

YOUR EASTER AND CHRISTMAS OFFERINGS
|
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. I greatly appreciate all your help and financial contribution. May God bless you all!!! |
