Caring for our Common Home
An ecumenical celebration with Bishop Steve
17 September 7.00pm
Venue to be Confirmed.
The Season of Creation begins on September 1, World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, and ends on October 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology beloved by many Christian denominations. This ecumenical prayer gathering unites all Christians for the care of our common home.
“Praise be to you my Lord, with all your creatures,” prayed St. Francis of Assisi, well before the Season of Creation began. With this simple but profound prayer, he has encouraged believers of many generations to recognize creation as the fruit of God’s eternal Love.
Season of Creation is a time of grace that the Church, in ecumenical dialogue, offers to humanity to renew its relationship with the Creator and with creation, through celebration, conversion and commitment together.
Listen to Pope Francis call us to participate in the Season of Creation.
