Mass Times  At a meeting of the parish team last week Fr Dominic proposed ‘discontinuing’ the Littleton 9am Mass on Monday’s. Presently there are 3 Masses on Monday; 9am Littleton and 10am in both Moycarkey and Two Mile Borris, which is unsustainable. As Two Mile Borris has no other weekday Mass keeping this Mass would be fairest?

On the occasion of funerals in the parish, Fr Dominic proposes that the funeral Mass would function also as the parish Mass.

It would be good to have your feedback in relation to these proposals.

Season of Creation Laudato Si Quotes 20th  September 2026

As Christians we are called to ‘accept the world as a sacrament of communion, as a way of sharing with God and our neighbours on a global scale… the divine and the human meet in the slightest detail in the seamless garment of God’s creation, in the last speck of dust of our planet…’
