The Season of Creation comes to a close Oct. 4, this Friday, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. As the perils facing our earth become more apparent daily, the life of St. Francis inspires and challenges us to take positive action to care for the people, the flora, the fauna and planet which God has given us.

St. Thomas' Creation Care Team has initiated an interfaith collaboration with members of our Bethlehem community who are committed to acts of caring for our world. Planning is underway for a shared project. Members of the St. Thomas parish are invited to join the Creation Care Team in this effort as well.
