A traditional quinceañera — a celebration for a young Hispanic woman when she turns 15 — includes not just a beautiful ball gown and vibrant party but also a Mass of celebration and thanksgiving.

Now, in preparation for her quinceañera, a young woman may also opt to take classes with the “Quinceañera Created for God: Creada para Dios” program. The course is an eight-week bilingual formation program run by local parishes designed to prepare young women for their quinceañeras by forming them in understanding their femininity from a Catholic perspective.

Attendees braved the snowy Colorado weather on Nov. 7 to celebrate the launch of “Creada Para Dios” at Most Precious Blood’s St. Stephen’s Hall in Denver. The group also included participants from the Diocese of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Denver Auxiliary Bishop Jorge Rodríguez led the gathering in bilingual prayer to open the event.
