Season of Creation is a time (September 1 – October 4) for Christians to come together in prayer and action for Creation.
The season starts on 1 September, the Day of Prayer for Creation, and ends on 4 October, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology beloved by many Christian denominations.

AN APPEAL FOR PRAYERS ON THE 1ST SEPTEMBER
Theme of Pope Leo XIV’s Message for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation 2026
“They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks” (Is 2:4)
On the occasion of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, Catholic Action Associations all over the world, united in the International Forum of Catholic Action, are launching an appeal for prayers.
During these personal and communitarian prayer meetings we recommend the recitation of the Christian Prayer in union with creation found in the Encyclical Laudato si’ (246), with the magnificent hymn by Saint Francis (Laudato si’ 87).
