External Website: 2026 Season of Creation

The Season of Creation takes place from September 1st - October 4th, ending on the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi. During this important time, people around the globe recommit to caring for God’s creation. This year’s official theme is “Living Water,” from Ezekiel 47:9 and 12, which offers a vision of immersive hope and ecological restoration.

During the Season of Creation, many parishes and groups plan special activities to cultivate a greater care for creation, including animals. Learn more about this important period and consider planning an event or activity in your community.

“Where these waters flow they refresh; everything lives where the river goes.” -Ezekiel 47:9
