OVERVIEW
To reserve the date, the parents of the quinceañera must make a deposit of $250.00 to reserve the desired date. The deposit is not refundable in case the quinceanera is canceled. 

You will be asked to bring the quinceañera's baptism and first communion certificates to the office at the time of reserving the date.

Important note: if the quinceañera is not baptized, we will not have a Mass or Quinceañera Ceremony because the renewal of baptismal promises is central to the Ceremony. As well, if the quinceañera has not received her first communion, we will offer the Ceremony only.

Quinceañera Masses are offered only on Saturdays depending on the availability of the parish and priest. There are no quinceañeras celebrated during the time of Lent.

FORMATION
The quinceañera must complete the following:
Diocese of Monterey formation class at Christ the King Parish in Salinas.
Call (831) 645-2847 to register.

MUSIC
The quinceañera is responsible for contacting the choir for the Mass. The choir should be familiar with the Catholic Mass. And, it is the responsibility of the quinceañera to pay the choir before the Mass.

You can contact the choir of your choice. Here is a list of suggested musicians, please contact the musicians at least 3 months before the date of the Mass to see their availability.
