Although Quinceañera is not a Sacrament - the Virgin Mary is a model for women of every class and age group.

The quinceañera ritual is valuable for the religious message it sends not only to young people, but also to parents, grandparents, godparents and the entire parish in calling us to prayerfully join with youth in making a commitment to God and the Church.

Celebrating your quinceañera is a wonderful event for you, your family, friends, and the Church. It is a special day to celebrate what God has accomplished in you over the last 15 years. The world was blessed when God created you. The Church was blessed when your parents presented you for Baptism. Our parish is blessed as you present yourself to God on the day of your quinceañera.

We, as the family of God, congratulate you. We are committed to make that day memorable. To help with this, please read our guidelines carefully, so that you may prepare for your celebration in a meaningful way. We pray that this day will be a blessing for you.
 

General Information

• Parents may request a quinceañera for their child by calling our Church Office and scheduling an initial meeting with our Pastor. The Pastor will meet, initially, with at least one parent and the child to receive the quinceañera. He will help determine when to have the quinceañera, as well as discuss fees related to the event. 

• The pastor will preside for all quinceañeras in which the family and the young person are active in our parish. For those who come from a different parish, you can have your quinceañera here, but you have to have permission from you regular attended parish.

• The Quinceañera candidate must have received the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, and Communion before the ceremony is celebrated. The candidate must be enrolled in Religious Education for at least two years prior and is to have received the Sacrament of Confirmation or be in the process of receiving this sacrament.
