To begin, you and your parents will come to the parish office and fill out an application form. You must have received the Sacrament of Confirmation or be attending preparation classes. You will need to bring proof of this. The date will then be set. The priests and parish staff are ready to assist you in preparing for your Quinceañera Mass. This information is designed to help answer some of your questions as you get ready for your special day.

Contact the Parish Office (562) 921-6649. Music is an integral part of your ceremony, and it is expected that the parish musicians will be used. Discuss with the Parish Office any mariachis or family/friends you wish to have perform.
It is recommended that you contact the Parish Office no later than four months prior to your Quinceañera date to plan the music and discuss the fee(s).
Fees are as follow:
Pianist and Vocalist $200.00
Microphone set up for outside musicians $50.00.
Everyone must attend the rehearsal and must be on time. Attendants must have natural color hair, no facial piercings, and no visible tattoos.
Flowers and decorations for the church are your responsibility. If floral decorations are used on the pews, they must be secured by rubber bands or coated wire. No tacks, nails, staples, or tape of any kind may be used. Decorations to the pews must not block access to the aisles or pews themselves.
Our liturgy team follows the church’s seasonal guidelines for the liturgical year, when decorating the church. Flowers, lighting, urns, banners and other materials are used at various times to enhance our celebrations. For this reason, you may not change or move around the décor within the church.
The number of escorts is limited to 14 couples not including parents and one set of God Parents/Padrinos. All must attend the rehearsal.
Everyone involved in the ceremony must arrive 30-45 minutes before the scheduled time. The liturgy will begin promptly at your scheduled time.
