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. 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.

We are committed to accompanying you on your faith journey and to prepare you and your family for the celebration in a meaningful way. We pray that this day will be a blessing for you.
