Hosted by the Catholic Climate Covenant

Various Catholic networks are co‑hosting an important webinar to help dioceses, parishes, creation care teams, clergy, Laudato Si’ Animators, JPIC animators, and all interested members of the Church prepare for this year’s World Day of Prayer for Creation (Sept. 1) and the extended Season of Creation (Sept. 1–Oct. 4).

Pope Francis has called for this day to be “properly celebrated with the participation of the entire People of God,” and Pope Leo has made this possible in a new way by adding the Mass for the Care of Creation to the Roman Missal. For the first time, communities have a dedicated set of creation‑focused readings and prayers to deepen their September celebrations.

This webinar will explore why this new Mass is so significant, how creation has always been part of our liturgical life, and why this observance is a timely pastoral opportunity in light of the “signs of the times” named in Laudato Si’. Presenters will also offer practical guidance on how to celebrate the Mass, what liturgical texts are available in different countries, and what additional resources—homily tips, music suggestions, devotional prayers, and more—can support local celebrations.

All registered participants will receive the full set of resources, even if they cannot attend live.
