On October 4, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assissi. This year, Catholic Climate Covenant (CCC) invites us all to join them in making the Feast even more special, in honor of the one-year anniversary of Laudato Si’.
By registering with CCC, individuals, parishes, schools, and universities will have access to the following to the Feast of St. Francis program guide, which includes the following:
- Prayers and scripture readings
- Short video with discussion questions
- Activities
- Advocacy
- Resources
Registration will be available later this summer; however, it is never to early to begin plans to host events in honor of the Feast. CCC offers event resources just for colleges:
- From St. Francis to Pope Francis to You! Creating a Climate for Solidarity
- Melting Ice, Mending Creation
- Sun Come Up: Educational Initiative
Celebrating the Feast of St. Francis is a wonderful way to continue practicing the call to care for our common home. Be sure to continue checking CCC’s website for more details!
