A Quinceanera is a coming-of-age ritual where a young girl renews her baptismal promises and is presented to her community as a young lady, as a presentation before God and a promise to honor herself and her religion. Unlike a baptism or confirmation, a Quincea\u00f1era mass is not a Catholic sacrament. However, it is a significant ritual within the church that solidifies the girl\u2019s commitment to her faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements for the Quincea\u00f1era Mass<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements for the preparation courses vary from parish to parish, but for the most part it is required for the girl to be baptized, have received her first Communion and be enrolled or plan to enroll in the confirmation classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Godparents for the Quincea\u00f1era<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, the godparents are chosen for being a stable, married through the Catholic Church couple that will ideally serve as mentors for the young girl. Their main role is to help keep the young girl on a path of spirituality and guide her into becoming a positive contributor to her community & religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
