Our Lady of Sorrows and Santisima Trinidad Quinceañera Guidelines 
1. The Quince Años Celebration at our parish is not a Mass, but a celebration of the Liturgy of the Word conducted by a Deacon. 
2. Our scheduled time for the liturgy is 11 a.m. on Saturdays only. 
3. The family requesting the Quince Años for their daughter, should be registered, and contributing members of the OLS/ST parish. If one is not a member of OLS/ST they should be guided by the guidelines set by the pastors of the other parishes, they attend. 
4. The young lady seeking to make her Quince Años should be enrolled in CCD or be attending Catholic School. 
5. The celebration should be scheduled 6 months in advance.
6. There is a fee for the use of the facilities of the parish which helps cover the cost of maintenance, air conditioning, cleaning, etc. This fee will be explained by our parish staff.
7. Music is not included in the fee for the church. If music is desired for the celebration, you may request our list of approved musicians and arrange for music and payment with them.
8. Flowers are permitted and may be placed at the altar and on the pedestals at the base of the mosaic. Pew decorations are permitted only if they can be placed on plastic clips. No nails, tacks, tape, or anything which damages the pews in any way may be used. 
9. Modesty is required of both the young lady and her attendants. Respect should be shown for God’s presence within the Church. Strapless dresses, low cut (front and back), and short dresses are inappropriate for a church ceremony. 
10. It is the responsibility of the family to contact a trained Lector from Our Lady of Sorrows/Santisima Trinidad for the readings. If a Lector from another parish is contacted, please submit confirmation of his/her parish where he/she are registered. 
11. Any photos taken should reflect the sacredness of the occasion and moment.  No posing for photos during the celebration, but photos may be taken after the celebration.
