The Quinceañera ceremony is a traditional, Latin American celebration that is held to commemorate a girl's fifteenth birthday — a milestone that marks the end of her childhood and the beginning of her life as a woman. Though the Quinceañera ceremony is not a sacrament, this tradition is typically accompanied by a special mass in honor of the special date, and there are several guidlines that young women must follow to have their Quinceañera mass in our parish:

1. Must attend CCD two years prior to the celebration.
2. Must attend mandatory parent/quinceañera meetings.
3. Attend mass every Sunday.
4. Be active in the church.

Please contact Sonia Gutiérrez (806-202-1755), the Quinceañera director, to begin the process of scheduling your religious celebration.

The Presentación de tres años, also a Latin American tradition, is a special mass that celebrates a child's third birthday. Please get  in touch with Sarahí at the office to schedule this special observance.
