Season of Creation 2024: To Hope and Act with Creation
The Season of Creation has a special significance for the Catholic Church, particularly since Pope Francis established 1 September as an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. The Season of Creation is marked throughout the Christian world from 1 September to 4 October – Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi – and celebrates the joy of creation as well as encouraging awareness-raising initiatives to protect the natural environment.
