Quinceañera Ministry
Through our Quinceañera Ministry, we work with parishes to host liturgies that help our young people who want to publicly profess their devotion to our Blessed Mother and affirm their faith in Jesus Christ and His Church. We provide a robust formation program for young people that is transformative, service-focused, and fun.

Formation Program
There are three primary elements to our formation program: faith formation, service, and ongoing discipleship.
Faith Formation
Each of the young people who enter into formation for their Quinceañera do so at least six months in advance of their ceremony in order to complete their formation with intention. If a family comes to register less than six months in advance, you will need to meet with the program director.
Each family will be assigned a youth minister to accompany them through their formation journey.
During formation, a young person will be expected to attend Mass regularly with their family, receive the sacrament of Reconciliation, and complete a service opportunity of their choosing.
There are four formation sessions:

- Sacramental Life
- Relationships
- Discipleship
Service
Christian service is an integral part of preparation for any sacrament or moment when a young person professes their faith because service is faith in action. During formation, a young person will choose a service opportunity and briefly reflection upon it. The service opportunity must be volunteer-based and includes some form of direct service (e.g. serving at a soup kitchen or food pantry, working in a community garden, or volunteering with the elderly).
Ongoing Discipleship
Many young people who have a Quinceañera do so for the party. Our formation program will hopefully help in breaking open the true meanings of the liturgy, which are the Marian devotion as well as ongoing commitment to Christ and the Church. This program falls under our Leadership Academy because we want to encourage ongoing formation and community involvement for the young people who go through our program.
