Celebrate the Season of Creation

/in , , /by

The Season of Creation, which runs from Sept. 1 to October 4, is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through celebration, conversion, and commitment together. This monthlong prayerful observance calls 2.2 billion Christians, along with other people of faith and conscience, to pray and care for God’s creation. During the Season of Creation, we join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family in prayer and action for our common home.  Here is a “Celebration Guide”
