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.
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.

MISSION STATEMENT
In response to our Catholic Social Teaching to care for all of God’s creations, Holy Rosary and Our Lady of Guadalupe parishes embrace our moral responsibility to protect all creation, locally and globally. We are committed to work together, with each other (HR & OLG) and other organizations and faith based communities to provide education, formation and prayerful action and advocacy. We strive to conserve and protect resources and promote policies designed to achieve these goals.
New members are always welcome to join. Please see "Upcoming Events" for our next meeting.
