FESTIVAL OF FAITH
May 8-10
What is the Festival of Faith?
The Festival of Faith is a three-day gathering of Catholics to rejoice and give thanks for our many blessings, while we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Diocese of Orlando and deepen our faith during 2008’s Year of Evangelization.
Who should attend?
All of the nearly 800,000 Catholics who live in the Diocese of Orlando are invited. However, anyone who would like to learn more about the Catholic faith and join in our celebration is welcome.
Is there an admission charge?
No. All events are free; however, donations are graciously accepted. We are collecting CANS OF FOOD for Catholic Charities, which distributes food to many agencies in Central Florida, and JARS OF PEANUT BUTTER to send to our sister diocese in the Dominican Republic, San Juan de la Maguana, as part of a healthy breakfast program.
Is it free to park?
There is a parking fee of $6.00 charged by the Orange County Convention Center.
Do I have to register for all three days of the Festival?
No, you can register to attend one program or as many programs as you would like.
Where do I register?
Participants are asked to register so we can plan for the proper accommodations for each session/event. You can register on the website: www.festivaloffaith.org.
