The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and the Laudato Si’ Centre for Higher Education announced that Pope Leo XIV will celebrate the Mass for the Care of Creation at Borgo Laudato Si’, within the Pontifical Gardens of Castel Gandolfo.
The Mass will take place on September 1, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation (background). The Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments recently approved the English and Spanish translations of the Mass for the Care of Creation, promulgated in Latin last year.
Cardinal Fabio Baggio, C.S., pro-prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development said that “for the Church, safeguarding Creation and promoting human dignity are two sides of a single mission, strongly rooted in the Christian faith. We believe God created the world and the human family out of love, and precisely out of love, He entrusted us with the care of our brothers and sisters and the custody of Creation.”
