The Season of Creation is an opportunity to worship the Creator and protect the good gift of creation. From mountain villages in Peru to bustling downtown streets in the Philippines, Christians of all denominations are uniting to pray and act for our common home.
The Season of Creation begins on September 1, the Day of Prayer for Creation, and ends on October 4, the feast day of St. Francis, the patron saint of ecology in many traditions.
There is an urgent need to find solutions to the crisis facing our common home. Together, we are fulfilling our role as stewards of God’s creation.
