SEASON OF CREATION - Sept. 1 - Oct. 4 (Feast of St. Francis)

September 1 was proclaimed as the World Day of Prayer for Creation by the Orthodox Church in 1989 and many other Christian Church have joined since then with Pope Francis most recently in 2015. It was then extended to be a month-long Season of Creation, ending on October 4, the Feast of St. Francis. We are asked to make a special effort pray for and take practical steps to protect the environment during this season. See Pope Francis' Prayer for our Earth on the website.
