Catholic Education

The mission of St. Luke Early Childhood Center is to provide the foundation for a lifelong love of learning by nurturing the whole child through exploration and creativity in a Catholic spirit.

As an educational ministry of the parish, we are dedicated to supporting families with young children.   St. Luke Early Childhood Center is honored to be a part of the Catholic School System in the Dioceses of St. Petersburg.

Now celebrating over 35 years of service, we proudly provide high-quality programs for 2-, 3-, and 4- year-olds, including free VPK, part-time enrollment options, and our flexible  Lunch Bunch program. 

For more information or to schedule a tour, please contact Stephanie Murphy, Administrator, at 727-787-2914, or visit our website at www.stlukeecc.com. 

Religious formation is offered to children in grades K-8th grade. Since parents are the primary educators of their children, our program is here to assist parents in their responsibility to educate their children in the Catholic faith.

In addition to sharing our Catholic faith, we work with parents to prepare their children to receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation.

SOF classes are held weekly throughout the school year from the end of August until the end of May in the Ministry Building - Sundays 11:15 am to 12:30 pm.

 Adult Bible Study  - TBD

OCIA is a wonderful process of preparing children and adults to enter into full communion with Christ and His Church. It is a journey of knowledge, faith and heart and what it means to be Catholic, and so much more. The Order of Christian Initiation introduces inquirers to the teaching of the Church and those seeking Baptism, Eucharist and/or Confirmation. Originally designed for adults seeking Baptism, it has been adapted to include children over the age of seven.

The Diocese of St. Petersburg requires that children/youth complete one full year of catechesis to be eligible for initiation. This year may be completed in the parish Faith Formation Program (regular grade level) or Catholic School.

Each catechumen/candidate will need a sponsor who is an active, practicing Catholic in good standing. Sponsors will be required to participate in weekly meetings and in all group Liturgical Rites.

The conversion process into the Church takes approximately one year. Participants and sponsors commit to a 1 ½ to 2 hour weekly group meeting.

Enrollment is open now with classes starting in September and ending at the Easter Vigil.
