Today's quotation is from Psalms 33:3
"Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.
The hymn may then be defined as a metrical or rhythmical praise of God; and the psalm, accompanied sacred song or canticle, either taken from the Psalms or from some less authoritative source (St. Augustine declaring that a canticle may be without a psalm but not a psalm without a canticle).
The Canticle of Creation Center (CoCC) is a new pilot endeavor of the Sisters of St. Francis of Dubuque initiated in 2017 as one way to share our Franciscan legacy of striving to live in right relationship with all creation.

- Strengthening awareness of the interconnectedness of all life
- Fostering learning, reflection, respite and healing through individual and shared experiences with creation
