Pope Francis has established 1 September as the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, encouraging the Catholic community around the world to pray for our common home. This World Day of Prayer also falls at the beginning of Creation Time, which runs until 4 October, the feast of St Francis of Assisi.
This is an ecumenical season dedicated to prayer for the protection of creation and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles.
CAFOD and St Peter’s Deanery (Lancaster) are responding to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor by organising a Creation Mass on Wednesday 25 September at St Joseph’s Church Skerton at 7pm followed by refreshments and a petition signing.
