Yes, the Mass is only for your daughter or son.

In what language can the Mass be celebrated?

Is a priest celebrating my Ceremony?
A priest will always celebrate your ceremony. However, in the absence of a priest, a Deacon may preside over the liturgy.

Can a priest friend of the family celebrate the Mass?

Can we have a more simple Quinceañera celebration?
Yes, you may have a Sunday celebration within our regular Masses. No procession of Quinceañera, family, and/or Quinceañera party. A modest donation may be offered.
