Quinceañera

Quinceañera Celebration

This occasion is more than a celebration; it is an acknowledgment of life's blessings and an invocation for your daughter to rise to her baptismal call to serve within our faith community. In participating in a Mass, we trust it will draw your daughter and your entire family nearer to God.

Quinceañera Celebration

A Quinceañera is a traditional celebration on the fifteenth birthday of a young lady. The ritual is a celebration of life from childhood to adulthood. Families usually request a Mass to be held in the Church, this celebration is usually done in gratitude to God.


The celebration is not a Sacrament. The Mass is an act of thanksgiving for the life and an opportunity for young women to reaffirm their faith.
