Quinceañeras
The transition from a girl to an adult woman is an important event in almost every culture. Latino/as, however, mark this memorial occasion with a celebration of a Quinceañera. A celebration of a Quinceañera is a Hispanic tradition associated with Mexican, Central, and South American Cultures. Through different ceremonies that take place today, a Quinceañera is a formal presentation of the young woman to society and also give thanks for her having reached the age of 15.
If you would like a Quinceañera service for a young woman please call 512-580-0200 or send an email (stjohns@austinstjohns.org) to obtain a date. You may also attend any Sunday Service and contact the Rector after the service ends.
