Sharing Christ Across Cultures and Faiths
A New Series on our Mission in Sierra Leone, West Africa, Episode 1
The Season of Creation 2026 is celebrated annually from September 1, recognized as the World Day of Prayer for Creation, to October 4, the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi.
The official theme for 2026 is “Living Water”, based on the biblical vision in Ezekiel 47:9-12, which depicts life-giving water flowing from God’s sanctuary, restoring ecosystems and sustaining communities.
The theme emphasizes both spiritual reflection and ecological responsibility, highlighting the importance of freshwater access, biodiversity, and environmental sustainability

LISTENING TO THOSE WHO LEFT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
In America, the landscape of the Catholic Church is changing dramatically, as is all religious communities and institutions. The new mission of the Xaverian Missionaries seeks to engage with our Catholic tradition to all outside of the church, Christianity, and even religion itself. The departure of those who were formed in the Catholic faith is felt in every parish. Disaffiliated families make up the majority of Catholic communities throughout the country.
