Vatican to publish a Mass for the Care of Creation

While the World Council of Churches, the Anglican Communion, and other churches have been working on a shared project to establish a universal Feast of Creation, the Vatican announced today that they will publish a “Mass for the care of creation” on 3 July.

Whether this is yet another missed moment of shared ecumenical witness, or perhaps a helpful step within the larger project, remains to be seen.

Below is the original announcement:
