We do. Many parishes offer one\r\ncommon Quincea\u00f1era celebration per month where all the young ladies gather with their families.<!- wp:more --><!--more--> We offer two Masses per month for two girls celebrating their birthdays. Quincea\u00f1era celebrations at St. Julia are always on the second Saturday of the month at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm.\r\nThe parish will continue to take responsibility for the celebration of the Mass and the responsibility for the\r\nmusic for the Mass will now pass to the family. When this new change takes effect, the family will be given a\r\nlist of those in those music ministry who may be available to play for the Quincea\u00f1era Mass. It will be the\r\nresponsibility of the family to make the arrangements for the music by contacting the musicians\/cantors. The\r\nfee for the music will no longer be the responsibility of the parish. This will be a matter between the family\r\nand the musicians\/cantors.\r\nThe fee for Quincea\u00f1era Masses remains $300.00 for registered members of the parish.\r\nThe fee for those from other parishes is $800.00.\r\nI would like to offer another form for our young girls to receive a special blessing on their 15th birthday.\r\nFamilies are invited to bring their daughters to a Sunday Mass and during the prayer of the faithful, the young\r\nlady will be called forward where the entire community will pray for her and her family. The priest will impart\r\na blessing. In this case, the young lady does not have to wear the usual Quincea\u00f1era dress. The family may\r\nchoose another special dress for their daughter. This manner of receiving a Quincea\u00f1era blessing is open only\r\nto members of our parish. I would like to offer this opportunity as a way to help our families save on\r\nexpenses, provide the family with the opportunity to share with the community, and give the community the\r\nopportunity to pray for our young ladies. Quincea\u00f1eras do not always have to be celebrated in expensive\r\nways in order to be special. Since there is no fee for this type of celebration at Mass, I only ask the family to be generous that day when the collection is taken.\r\nI will communicate with you when this new policy about the music for Quincea\u00f1era Masses will take effect.\r\nYou can begin at once to bring your daughters to a Sunday Mass for the special blessing. However, the\r\nQuincea\u00f1era either comes to a Sunday Mass for a blessing or she comes to the private Mass celebrated on a\r\nSaturday. If you wish for your daughter to receive a special blessing on her 15th birthday during a Sunday\r\nMass, please contact the office to schedule.\r\nOur parish will offer these two ways for our young ladies to celebrate their Quincea\u00f1era.\r\nYou are in my prayers and in my heart.
