1. Introduction and Requirements
The parish Quiceniera program recognizes the
importance of this celebration in the life of a young
woman and seeks to help the person prepare through
prayer, study, and service. The parish
celebrates a Quiceniera for young woman of 15 years of
age who are active members of the parish and are
involved in the faith formation programs of the parish
such as Generation of Faith and/or the youth ministry
programs. If a family is interested in joining the
parish and becoming members they can find out how to
do so by clicking on Membership. They need to be
participating members for six months prior to the
being able to set a date for the Quiceniera.
Most of the parishes providing Quicenieras have
similar requirements. There is a parish that
celebrates Quicenieras without the requirement of
parish membership. This is St. Leo Church, 88 Race
St., San Jose, 408-293-3503.
2. The Preparation Program
The young woman participates in the parish
Confirmation program and is encouraged to be involved
in the youth ministry activities of the parish.
She is assigned a “guia” – a young adult minister who
will meet with her to assist her in preparing and
reflecting on this experience. There is a reflection
book provided for this purpose. She completes
ten hours of community service. After completing
a-c she meets with the priest to plan the ceremony. We
do not presently have a priest who speaks Spanish on
the staff but we can assist the family in finding
someone.
3. Cost & How to Register
The cost of the program is $45 for Generations of
Faith, $50 for Confirmation, and $300 for the
Quiceniera preparation program. To register please
contact Will Sousae at 408-223-1562 x316.
