Church of the Holy Spirit, Catholic church in Lake Wales, United States

The former Church of the Holy Spirit stands at 1099 Hesperides Road in Lake Wales, Florida, built in the Mission Revival style. It is a Roman Catholic church building later converted for civic use, now serving as the Lake Wales Cultural Center. Its Mission Revival character is the architectural feature noted for the structure.

The building was completed in 1927 designed by architects P.C. Samuell and R.W. Burrows as a Catholic church. It transitioned to a cultural center after the diocese sold it in 1989 and received national historic designation the following year.

The building was sold by the local Catholic diocese to the City of Lake Wales in 1989 and now serves as the Lake Wales Cultural Center. Its earlier role as a Roman Catholic church is recalled in the name it still carries, the Church of the Holy Spirit.

The building stands at 1099 Hesperides Road in Lake Wales and now serves as the Lake Wales Cultural Center, so opening depends on the center's programme rather than on church services. Check the center's schedule before travelling, since access is tied to events and activities. The Mission Revival exterior can be viewed from the street at any time.

The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on August 31, 1990, a year after the City of Lake Wales bought it from the Catholic diocese in 1989. It now operates as the Lake Wales Cultural Center at 1099 Hesperides Road.
