Liturgical Season of Creation

 

 

CREATION CARE September 1st-October 4th
The weekend of September 1, the World Day of Prayer for Creation, begins a Liturgical Season set aside to celebrate God's gift to us of Creation.  It continues until October 4, the feast day of 
St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology and animals.
In the spirit of renewal and responsibility, the theme for the 2024 Season of Creation resonates with a powerful call to action: “To hope and act with Creation.” As a parish, we hope each of you joins in some personal and communal way to celebrate and care for Creation!  

OPPORTUNITIES... the weekend of August 31/September 1.  Those who have gardens or some other access to fruits and vegetables are invited to share these gifts with others. Please bring your donations from your gardens to church place them on the tables in the back of church. They will be part of our Offertory gifts at Mass, they will be shared with our parishioners and food pantry.
The weekend of September 7/8 will be a parish Mass of Creation. Families are encouraged to talk with each other about the gift of creation and our responsibility to care for creation.  Please be prepared to bring to church a gift for the Offertory.  Each family or child may bring a drawing or symbol of a favorite gift of God's creation or aspect of creation they enjoy. (idea flowers, drawings etc)
  October 4 will be a celebration of creation with a blessing of pets date and time TBA.
