SEASON FOR THE CARE OF CREATION SEPTEMBER 1 TO OCTOBER 4

Pope Francis has proclaimed September 1st, as “World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation”. The Season of Creation is the annual Christian celebration of prayer and action for our common home. Together, the ecumenical family around the world unites to pray and protect God’s creation. The season starts September 1st, and ends October 4th, on the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology beloved by many Christian denominations. This year the theme is, “A HOME FOR ALL, RENEWING THE OIKOS OF GOD.” Oikos is the Greek word for “home,” or “household.” By rooting our theme in the concept of oikos, we celebrate the integral web of relationships that sustain the well-being of the Earth.
