Growing in Faith, Love and Community.
Welcome to St Erconwald's Catholic Church,
​Walton-on-Thames
 
​

All are most welcome,
but sorry, the church is closed at the moment
​due to the pandemic   

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.
Peace Sunday

Closure of St Erconwald’s for Public Worship
    
Dear Parishioners,
After consultation with Bishop Richard and Fr Rob Esdaile and after consultation with some parishioners, I have come to the conclusion that St Erconwald’s needs to close for public worship starting Sunday 17th January 2021.  This means that the last  public Mass will be on Saturday morning . The Mass in Italian will still take place on Saturday evening 16th January and will be suspended until further notice. While this will be a disappointment to some, it has become increasingly clear through the massive drop in Mass attendance that parishioners are either complying with the Government’s message to stay at home or are fearful of joining gatherings in the church because of the recent rapid growth in infection rates. 

This is not the time for religious heroism, since we run the risk of infection thereby contributing possibly to a further overloading of the NHS at the expense of the wellbeing of non-COVID sufferers in need of medical attention. I suggest that the     virtuous thing to do is to celebrate with the parish online in a virtual community until     the infection rates decline to a level that is felt to be less threatening. There will be a  review of the situation at the end of January

Meanwhile there will be an online  Mass on-line each weekday except Thursday at  9.30 am and ONE MASS ON SUNDAY AT 10.00 AM. The church will remain open for  an hour after the online Mass for private prayer on weekdays. 

I will send a zoom invitation in the newsletter for a zoom coffee morning on  Mondays and Wednesdays during the lockdown to a Zoom Coffee Morning at 10.30 am so that I can chat to those I have not seen for a long time.

Wishing you a safe time
God Bless
Fr Bill
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.

I am proposing to offer a short course of about four sessions in the New Year on the Gospel of Mark. It is a particularly interesting Gospel if only because if was until recently dismissed by the Church until the Nineteenth Century as of no real importance. What was the writer trying to say to his audience in the gospel and how was it constructed to convey that message? These are some of the questions that I will be trying to  answer in a mixture of lecture and discussion style sessions. They will be conveyed by Zoom as I suspect that we will be in tier 4 for the foreseeable future. I wish to finish the sessions before the start of Lent because there is to be a Diocesan Mission during Lent and I want to leave space for that. The first session will start on Tuesday 9th January at 8.00 pm. About 10 people have expressed interest. Could those people please read the Gospel of Mark as if you were reading a novel so that you get a sese of the structure of the gospel before we start looking at it in detail.

PARISH FINANCE

We have had several generous donations towards the maintenance of the parish recently.

Standing Order Income for December 2020 : £3,121.93 excluding donations for Christmas and maintenance. Thank you all for your generosity. 94 parishioners approximately are contributing by standing order. ​
