About this sermon
Many cultures around the world have a celebration for young women as they turn 15. For Hispanics, it is called a quinceañera and now one group is offering a program to help young women in their understanding of femininity from a Catholic perspective. Quinceañera: Created for God launched earlier this month in Denver and is an 8-week program run by local parishes. When a family asks for a Mass or blessing as part of their daughter's quinceañera celebration, the parish is now able to offer the formation program as well. The head of the new program says she hopes it brings an element of faith formation to the once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Director of Magnifica, the Spanish language outreach of the quinceañera formation program, Janeth Chavez, joins to share how many young women in the US each year have a quinceañera with a Catholic element and what sort of numbers we are talking about here. Chavez tells us why she started this program and why now. She discusses more about the program and what sort of faith formation takes place. Chavez explains what the response has been so far. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
