Faith Formation
Faith Formation
Holy Spirit Catholic Church Lake Wales Faith Formation Program is an ongoing development of the whole person into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ. The program is structured according to the curriculum framework, benchmarks (statements of expectations), prayers and practices of the Diocese of Orlando and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The general coverage is sacramental preparation for both children and young adults below 18 years of age and adults above 18 years of age. The current year offers sacramental preparation for children in Pre-K to Grade 12.
- Classes are held on Sundays at 9:00am to10:30am and 11- 12:30 pm.
- It takes 2 years for sacramental preparation.
- Registration begins in February of each year.
- The program starts in September.
- Families with children attending faith formation classes must be registered parishioners of Holy Spirit Church. They are required to attend Sunday mass regularly for at least three (3) months. A student must complete 80% of class sessions to receive credit for the year. Students who fail to achieve the equivalent hours will need to make up the hours missed. For these reasons, parents are encouraged to make this program a priority for their children.
- An obligatory meeting of all parents of students enrolled is held every first Sunday of the month.
- Parents are required to register their children for each year of attendance of the sacramental preparation and pay the corresponding annual dues.
