Quinceañera




A quinceañera is a joyous celebration of a young woman — a "quinceañera" — reaching the age of 15. 

Quinceañera Preparation

The celebration is a way of acknowledging the young woman has reached maturity and is ready to take on additional responsibilities. Most importantly, the celebration reaffirms her religious faith and the traditional virtues of the Catholic family.

In order to celebrate a quinceañera at St. Peter, St. Anthony and St. Charles Church, the following requirements must be met:

  • The quinceañera must have received the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism and Eucharist).
