The Season of Creation will be celebrated from 1st September - 4th October. It is an opportunity to give thanks to God for the gift of creation. The theme for the Season of Creation this year is “A Home for All?: Restoring Our Common Home”.
After the Season of Creation there will be a meeting of world leaders in China for a UN Biodiversity Conference (known as COP 15) and another UN meeting on Climate Change in November of world leaders in Scotland on (known as COP 26). In preparation for these UN meetings there will be a petition known as the Healthy Planet, Healthy People Petition available at http://healthyplanetandpeople.org for dioceses, parishes, and individuals to sign. It is envisaged that this petition with signatures will be presented by Pope Francis to the Presidents of these upcoming UN conferences.
