Quinceañeras

COVID-19 UPDATE
Quinceañera Ministry is currently suspended during the current directives from the Archdiocese of Chicago amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Quinceañera celebrations are part of Phase II of the re-opening plan from the Archdiocese of Chicago. When we receive the timeline for when we can begin Phase II and after the Quinceañera Ministry Team has approved a plan, we will contact families. In the meantime, you can schedule your celebrations with the parish of your choice, however, we will not be able to confirm your date until new directives arrive from the Archdiocese.

​If you have any questions, please contact Mirka Gallo at mirka@ucym.org or James Holzhauer-Chuckas, ObSB at james@ucym.org. 
We Work Together!

The parishes in Evanston work together to provide Quinceañera preparation and administrative support for St. Athanasius Parish, St. Mary Parish, and St. Nicholas Parish.

Get Started
  1. VISIT – Visit the parish where you wish to celebrate your Quinceañera (parish addresses and office hours below).
  2. BEGIN YOUR REGISTRATION – Begin your registration at the parish and pick a date for your Quinceañera. It is very important you do this step FIRST and not book your hall first! The date of the hall might not match the available dates of the parish.
  3. AFTER REGISTRATION – After registration, your form will be sent to the Office of Youth Ministry and will be distributed to a member of the Formation Team, who will then guide you through your formation that needs to be completed in order for you to have your Quinceañera.

We can help connect you with our preparation team and get you started after you have registered in one of the parish offices.
