| Publisher Description: In Hispanic culture, a young woman's Quincea era (15th birthday) celebration is a significant milestone. This rite of passage signifies her entry into adulthood and acceptance of Christian responsibilities. This volume helps young women prepare for the celebration by reflecting on their culture and Catholic faith commitment. Collaborating with the Diocese of San Bernardino's Office for Hispanic Affairs, this bilingual formation program discusses the cultural and religious significance of the celebration. Quincea era candidates will enjoy special sections including journal and remembrance pages, workbook activities, and liturgical planning. |
