Does Catholicism say that it is ok to pray at inter-religious thanksgiving services?

I have noticed some denominational Christians (Episcopalians, Lutherans) engaging in joint community oriented prayer services for Thanksgiving in the United States that involve Islamic, Hindu and other religious leaders. What is the Catholic position on holding joint “Thanksgiving” prayer services - especially with non theistic religions? If it’s ok to pray with non theistic religious leaders, how would that justification be grounded in an understanding of Acts 17? Would only prayers couched in the form of Paul’s Easter oriented speech on Mars Hill be appropriate?
