Quince Años

This program is offered to youth who will turn 15 years old and want to prepare for a Quince Años celebration.   Quince Años draws upon an ancient indigenous custom of celebrating the fifteenth birthday of a child.  The tradition is part of the religious history of the Hispanic people.  Although the tradition is not a sacrament, it is celebrated within the context of a Sacrament.  It is also a “teachable moment” within a family and an opportunity to catechize and evangelize.  Quince Años celebrations are an opportunity to invite youth to thank God for the gift of life, family, and community.  

Requirements:  attend 2 years of CCE classes; attend 2 Quince Años formation sessions; regular Mass attendance with reception of Eucharist.  Once requirements are met, call the parish office at least 9 months prior to requested date of celebration.  Fees and guidelines are discussed at time of registration.
