Quinceañera Requirements & Preparation

Requirements for the Young Person:

• Baptized and have received First Holy Communion

• Provide copies of Baptismal and First Communion certificates

• A practicing Catholic who attends Mass on Sundays and Holy Days

Inviting Family & Friends:
A Quinceañera Mass is a celebration of faith and thanksgiving. A full assembly is a beautiful sign of the young person’s faith and the family’s witness. Please begin inviting family, relatives, and friends early so many may gather to give thanks and offer prayers.

Quinceañera Fee: $1,400

Breakdown:

• $250 – Quinceañera Liturgy Coordinator: Meets with the candidate and family, explains the tradition, schedules the date on the parish calendar, coordinates all details for the Mass, and helps ensure the Church is ready for the next celebration.

• $150 – Acolyte: Supports the coordinator and celebrant during rehearsal and the Mass celebration.

• $1,000 – Church Use and Formation Expenses: This amount helps cover expenses incurred during the formation sessions. Any remaining funds will be directed to the parish Capital Campaign.

• Celebrant DONATION
  Although the celebrant does not expect a donation, one is always fitting and greatly appreciated as a voluntary expression of gratitude from the quinceañera family for his time, ministry, and prayerful presence on this special day.
   
  There is no set amount for this donation. It should be given freely, according to what you are able and willing to offer. If you are unsure what would be appropriate, you may use as a guide the care and expenses you have invested in the rest of your celebration—especially those outside of the church—and let your spirit of gratitude determine your gift.
   
  If you would like additional guidance in determining an appropriate amount, please feel free to ask the Quinceañera Liturgy Coordinator or me. We would be happy to help.

Please Note:

• This fee does not include music, flowers, or a stipend/donation for the celebrant.

• A deposit of $500 is required to hold your date. This will apply toward the total fee. $250 of the deposit is non-refundable.

• Visiting clergy are welcome.

• If inviting a priest or deacon from another parish or diocese, approval must be obtained from:

  • The Pastor, and

  • The Archdiocesan Chancellor https://archgh.org/chancellor 

• This must be communicated early in the scheduling process, as obtaining permissions can take time.

Music - MUST be approved by the Church

• The Quinceñera Liturgy Coordinator will provide with possible cantors and instrumentalists for the music.

• Musicians from outside the parish must be approved by the Quinceañera Liturgy Coordinator.

• The Quinceañera fee does not include music; families are responsible for arranging and paying musicians directly.

Flowers

• Flower arrangements are optional but permitted.

• Floral details should be coordinated with the Quinceañera Coordinator.

Marian Offering

• During Mass, the quinceañera presents a bouquet to Mary and offers a prayer of consecration.

• A bouquet of flowers or roses is required for the offering.

• It is recommended to bring the bouquet at the rehearsal to avoid forgetting it on the day of the celebration.
