World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation

In 2015, Pope Francis declared September 1 as the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace has some proposed celebrations on their website.
​

Some ideas for individuals and parishes: 
 
  1. For individuals
    • Begin with A Christian prayer in union with creation
    • Continue to pray throughout the day: could be a Guided Rosary on Caring for Creation, the Canticle of Creatures of St Francis, or any other creation care prayer.
    • Attend a special service in your parish and/or ask the parish to celebrate the World Day of Prayer.

  2. For Parishes/Communities
    • Host an Eucharistic Adoration service: use this official prayer resource from the Vatican.
    • Incorporate creation prayers during your daily mass: you could simply pray the Christian Prayer in Union with Creation and include special Prayers of the Faithful (check our Resources page). 

  3. For smaller groups
    • Utilize this guided prayer resource developed by Fr. Terrence J. Moran. 

  4. For everyone
    • Complement your prayers with climate action: Sign the Laudato Si Pledge

Season of Creation | Sep 1 to Oct 4

Picture
On the occasion of the sixth anniversary of Laudato Si', the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development invites you to join the ecumenical family in celebrating the Season of Creation that takes place from Sep. 1 (World Day of Prayer for Care of Creation) to Oct. 4 (Feast of St. Francis of Assisi). 

This year’s theme is “A home for all? Renewing the Oikos of God,” and the logo reflects that theme as it’s Abraham’s tent, which symbolizes “a home for all.”

During the 2021 Season of Creation, from 1st September through 4th October, thousands of Christians on six continents get together for a time of restoration and hope, a jubilee for our Earth, and to discover radically new ways of living with creation. More than ever before, the global Christian family will unite to pray and take action for our common home.

Season of Creation 2021 Guide is available now for parishes, ministries, small groups, families and individuals.
