‘Tis the Season of Creation
The Season of Creation is an annual ecumenical celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. It takes place from September 1 (World Day of Prayer for Creation) to October 4 (Feast of St. Francis of Assisi).
Pope Francis has invited Catholics to join Christians of all traditions to take part by prayer, litter clean-ups, cultivating gardens, avoiding `wastefulness, and other efforts to care for our Common Home.
