Each year since 1989 from September 1 to October 4 (feast of St. Francis), the Christian family unites for this worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. As followers of Christ from around the globe, we share a common role as caretakers of God's creation. We see that our well-being is interwoven with its wellbeing. We rejoice in this opportunity to care for our common home and the sisters and brothers who share it.
Our first Holy Rosary/Our Lady of Guadalupe Ecology Fair, right in the middle of the Season of Creation.! Exhibitors will provide information on many different ways we can be better stewards of our natural environment and all of God's creation. Look for information on a variety of important topics, from taking better care of our Puget Sound home to finding ways of making the lower Snake River Dams more compatible with the salmon population, such an integral part of the Pacific Northwest but now in significant decline.

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR EXHIBITORS

To celebrate the season, the Care for Creation Ministry of Holy Rosary and Our Lady of Guadalupe parishes invites you to pray a Novena that focuses on prayer at nine special places in West Seattle that inspire thankfulness for all of God's creation. You can pray at each designated location on successive days, or you can think of those locations as you pray at home.
