✨ Product Overview

Bendición al cumplir quince años • Order for the Blessing on the Fifteenth Birthday is the official USCCB-approved rite for the blessing celebrated on a young woman’s fifteenth birthday—traditionally known as a Quince Años celebration.

This beautifully prepared bilingual booklet (English & Spanish) provides all the prayers, readings, and ritual instructions needed for the blessing within Mass or outside of Mass, for one quinceañera or a group.

Rooted deeply in Hispanic Catholic tradition, this celebration gives thanks to God for the life of the young woman, invokes blessings upon her family, and invites her to renew her commitment to the Christian life and consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary—beloved model of faith for all disciples.

An appendix containing the Universal Prayer is also included.

⭐ Review

“Celebrating their daughters’ fifteenth birthdays is a gesture of gratitude to God and the Virgin Mary, deeply rooted in the hearts of many Catholic families. With the Blessing on the Fifteenth Birthday, the bishops of the United States provide us with the prayers and rites approved by the Church to give thanks to God, in English and Spanish, with or without Mass. This booklet becomes indispensable in every parish because it helps to prepare well for the celebration and contributes to the spirituality of Catholic families who thank God for the Christian life of their teenage daughters and ask for His blessing.”
