Invitation to Pilgrimages of Hope

Pope Francis invited all people to make a Pilgrimage of Hope during this Jubilee Year, to encounter Christ in creation and restore our relationships with God, creation, and one another. Rooted in Laudato Si’, it underscores the moral responsibility of caring for the earth, a principle of Catholic Social Teaching. 

Season of Creation 2025

The 2025 Season of Creation is taking place from 1 September to 4 October. It is a time of prayer, action, and community for all who recognize that caring for our common home is an essential expression of our faith.

Season of Creation 2024

Each year from September 1 to October 4, the Christian family unites for The Season of Creation, a worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. This year, the theme for the season is “To hope and act with Creation”, a theme that resonates deeply with the SSND commitment to the integrity of creation.
