Due to circumstances beyond our control, the location of the Family Faith Fest has changed! Our new location is the Florida State Fairgrounds. All schedules, entertainment, and activities remain the same and will be held at the Florida State Fairgrounds.

We hope you can still join us for an amazing day this Saturday, October 27 from 10 AM to 6 PM.

NEW LOCATION FOR FAMILY FAITH FEST
Florida State Fairgrounds
4800 U.S. Highway 301 North
Tampa, Florida 33610
Phone: 813-621-7821

Directions & Parking:
Click  here for directions to the Florida State Fairgrounds. There will be free parking! Enter parking lot through Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Once you enter the Fairgrounds there will be Parking Attendants and signage to direct you to Gate three.

Why Location Has Changed:
A wetter than normal fall season has caused the grounds at Al Lopez Field to become overly saturated and park officials have informed us that our event plans would have to be greatly modified and limited if we remain at Al Lopez Park. For the safety, enjoyment and comfort of all, we have decided we must relocate the Family Faith Fest. ( https://familyfaithfest.org/new-location-announced/)

As with many jubilee years, Pope Francis has instructed that a special plenary indulgence be available for the faithful throughout 2018 (January 1, 2018- December 31, 2018) for the 50th Anniversary of the Diocese of St. Petersburg. Click on the title to learn about indulgences and how to fulfill requirements for an indulgence.

To know we are children of God is to live in complete love, with deep abiding security and the ability to dream, to sing, to create, to laugh and to pray without worry. As we grow older, we face a new reality - we cannot approach all God's creation with the same trust and confidence.We learn, through sometimes hurtful and damaging experiences, that some people reject the ability that God gave them to love and respect others - they ignore God's call. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops call to safeguard children helps remind us of these very facts. With the help of USCCB, the faithful are guided and educated about their responsibility to keep God's children safe and protected. To learn more click on the title.
