Season of Creation Schedule 2021

Diocese of Joliet

On September 1st, 2021, the International Day of Prayer for Creation - October 4th, 2021, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, we will celebrate the Season of Creation. The Season of Creation is an annual Christian observance of caring for creation. It is a time to celebrate and renew our commitment to the Creator and the stewardship of His creation. This year’s Season of Creation has a particular significance because the Vatican has launched a 7 Year Laudato Si’ Action Platform, encouraging Catholic institutions to make a plan and take action to address the ecological crisis. Check out what we have going on for the Season of Creation 2021:

September 9: Season of Creation prayer service with Fr. John Horan at Lewis University, 6:00 P.M. Please register at kjacobs@dioceseofjoliet.org. A recording of this event will be posted on the diocesan webiste.
