The Season of Creation

The Season of Creation (began on Sep 1) is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through celebration, conversion, and commitment together. During the Season of Creation, we join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family in prayer and action for our common home. It begins on the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, and ends on October 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. How can I or my parish participate in the Season of Creation?
Prayer: Host an ecumenical prayer gathering that unites all Christians for the care of our common home. One option is to host an interactive Feast of St. Francis program, found annually at catholicclimatecovenant.org
Sustainability: Lead a cleanup or carbon-reduction project that helps all of creation thrive (such as improving energy efficiency)
Advocacy: Raise your voice for climate justice by participating in or leading an ongoing campaign that supports our common home
