COME AND JOIN OUR FIRST INTERFAITH WALK FOR CREATION!
Dear LSM Pilipinas Members, Friends and Partners,
Peace flowing from the Heart of Our Loving Creator!!
Season of Creation, also known as Creation Time is now in the air. This Season has been celebrated by many Christian Churches globally in the recent years from September 1, Creation Day and World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, to October 4, Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. In 2020, we started to have its culmination here in the Philippines on the Second Sunday of October when we celebrate our National Indigenous Peoples’ Sunday.
Since 2017, Laudato Si’ Movement Pilipinas, formerly Global Catholic Climate Movement Pilipinas, and its partner organizations have been spearheading an annual Walk for Creation to open the Season of Creation and to celebrate Creation Day and World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation on September 1.
Ecumenism is integral to the global celebration of the Season of Creation. To bring this dimension into our annual celebration, we upgraded the Walk for Creation to an ecumenical event in 2023.
After 3 years of holding an Ecumenical Walk for Creation, we are inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical letter, Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home, to upgrade it again to an interfaith gathering. Laudato Si’ reminds us of our common vocation to take care of Earth, our Common Home, regardless of our religions and faith traditions and invites us to come and act together us one human family for the well-being of Earth and the entire Earth-Community. Thus, we will have our First Interfaith Walk for Creation in the National Capital Region this year.
To highlight the theme of Season of Creation 2026, “Living Water”, we will hold it in the beautiful city of Pasig to symbolically express our commitment to care for our Rivers and Oceans and all bodies of water around the world, particularly in the Philippines, by honoring Pasig River, including Marikina River and San Juan River which are its tributaries and Laguna de Bay and Manila Bay which Pasig River connects to each other. The event will be on September 5, 2026, 5:00 - 9:00 AM at Maybunga Rainforest Park in Pasig City.
