World Day of Prayer for Creation

The Season of Creation runs from Sept 1, the World Day of Prayer for Creation, until Oct. 4, the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of the environment. “They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks” (Is 2:4) is the theme of Pope Leo XIV’s Message for the 2026 World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, published at: https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/messages/creation/documents/20260815-messaggio-giornata-curacreato.html.

The Season of Creation is an opportunity to join the many efforts of Christians and of people of good will around the world who are working for ecological conversion. During the Season of Creation, Bishop Mark Hagemoen will celebrate The Mass for Care of Creation at 9 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Cathedral of the Holy Family in Saskatoon, which will be available on live-stream video at https://saskatoonmass.com.
