The Council of the Bishops’ Conferences of Europe has published “Listen to the voice of Creation,” a statement for the Season of Creation.

The season, begun as an ecumenical initiative, was later embraced by the Vatican. It begins on September 1—the World Day of Prayer for Creation in the Orthodox churches (since 1989) and the Catholic Church (since 2015)—and concludes on October 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi.
