Wallington and Stafford Road was surrounded by lavender fields.

The fifties was a time of change and growth. Fr Charles Ward arrived in\u00a0<strong>1950<\/strong> and enlarged the church, encouraged the growth of parish organisations and social life.\u00a0 A flourishing scout group, youth club, UCM and SVP met in Castlemead which became the parish centre.<\/p><p>It was during\u00a0<strong>Fr John Mulholland\u2019s<\/strong> time that major building work was completed. A new school was built in\u00a0<strong>1969<\/strong> in Mollison Drive; it now has a thriving three form entry with outstanding inspections. The present church and presbytery were built in the 70s and the old church was converted into a parish centre. Fr Mulholland encouraged parish life by establishing a pastoral council, family study groups, and welcome evenings for new parishioners. There were now about a thousand parishioners.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a800b0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a800b0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Fr Paul Hough<\/strong>\u00a0came as a curate in the 60s and returned as parish priest in the 80s remaining until\u00a0<strong>2020<\/strong>. He welcomed visiting priests especially from Poland and\u00a0<strong>Fr Stephen Danso<\/strong> from Ghana who remained for many years as an assistant priest. During these years, the parish became a remarkably diverse congregation with parishioners from all over the world.\u00a0 The school reflected this and we have heard different languages used in the bidding prayers in special Masses. Over the last few years, four parishioners have been ordained as secular priests serving in the diocese, and a fifth member is soon to be ordained. \u00a0Parishioners have taken part in ecumenical activities such as the yearly prayer week for Christian unity and the Good Friday walk. The Sutton Deanery has welcomed a Syrian family in response to Pope Francis call and our parish has been in the forefront.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Fr Hough\u00a0<\/strong>retired in January\u00a0<strong>2020\u00a0<\/strong>and we welcomed\u00a0<strong>Fr Patrick Udotai.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p><p><em>Written by Jackie McLoughlin MBE<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dec60b7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dec60b7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c0dca5c\" data-id=\"c0dca5c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f9c868 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5f9c868\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">St. Elphege: The Martyrdom and Legacy of Our Parish Patron Saint.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a7099f elementor-absolute elementor-widget elementor-widget-theme-post-featured-image elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1a7099f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_position&quot;:&quot;absolute&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"theme-post-featured-image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/stelpheges.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/download-3.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-12357\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stelpheges.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/download-3.png 600w, https:\/\/stelpheges.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/download-3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/stelpheges.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/download-3-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f04813 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"2f04813\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d264889 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d264889\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Most people I have met and mentioned the patron saint of our parish, St. Elphege, almost always say they have never heard of him. I personally never heard of him until I came to serve in a nearby parish, St Margaret of Scotland Parish, Carshalton Beeches, in 2016. I have decided to write a brief note on WHO WAS ST. ELPHEGE so that we, and those visiting our website can get to know about our Patron Saint.<\/p><p>Elphege was born in the year 954, of a noble Saxon family in Weston, Somerset. He became a Benedictine monk at Deerhurst Monastery in Gloucestershire, England at a young age. After few years there, he left to become a hermit at Bath where he later became the Abbot. He was reputed for his piety and sanctity of life. As an abbot, he enforced strict rule to enhance deep spiritual growth and fraternal life. He was appointed Bishop of Winchester in 984 at the age of 30. As a bishop he was noted for his love of the poor for whom he devoted his time and services in extraordinary ways.<\/p><p>In 1006, he was elevated to the rank of archbishop and served as the Archbishop of Canterbury. He furthered the cult of Dunstan and encouraged learning. In September 1011, during the siege of Canterbury by the Vikings, Elphege was captured. On April 11 the following year, his captors, in a drunken spree, and in anger that their ransom<br \/>had not been paid, pelted him with oxen bones and killed him with an axe.<\/p><p>His body was kept at St. Paul\u2019s Church in London for 11 years. It was later transferred at the order of King Canute to Canterbury Cathedral, his final resting place. Elphege was canonised as a saint in 1078 by Pope Gregory VII. He is a Martyr, whose feast day is celebrated on April 11. In art, St. Elphege is often represented with an axe, a reminder of the instrument with which he was struck dead. He is the patron of kidnapped victims, Greenwich, and Solihull.<\/p><p>May we be challenged by the courage of St. Elphege to live out our calling fearlessly. May we be richly blessed by his intercession. St. Elphege, pray for us.<\/p><p><strong>FR.
