The Season of Creation runs from 1 September – 4 October, the Feast of St Francis of Assisi. The Symbol for 2024 is ‘First Fruits of Hope’. The times we live in show that we are not relating to the Earth as a gift from our Creator, but rather as a resource to be used. And yet, there is hope and the expectation for a better future. Parishes are invited to celebrate a Mass for creation on Sunday 1 September. Caritas Plymouth will be sending out materials in early July.
