Musician fees are additional. The fee is $300 for one instrumentalist and one singer. Additional musicians are available upon request ($150 each). Only OLPH musicians may be scheduled for the ceremony. The OLPH Music Director will contact you one month prior to the ceremony to discuss hymn choices and your preferences.
The OLPH Quinceanera Coordinator will schedule a meeting with you one month prior to the Mass to answer any questions you may have. The Coordinator will be at the rehearsal as well as the day of the ceremony.
Your rehearsal will take place on the Friday prior to the ceremony, and will take approximately one hour. The rehearsal allows everyone to become familiar with the environment and the roles they will assume as part of the liturgy. Since multiple rehearsals may be scheduled on the same evening, it is expected that all participants will be prompt and on time.
SYMBOLSDuring the Mass, the Quinceanera may bring a bouquet to Our Lady and recite a prayer of consecration. She may also be presented a Bible and rosary by sponsors. All gifts for the Quinceanera will be blessed at the same time during the Mass. Souvenirs for the reception will be blessed after Mass.
Out of respect for the sacredness of the Mass, dresses must not be low cut and they must cover the shoulders. If the dress style does not cover the shoulders, it will be necessary to wear a shawl or covering during the Mass. There are no exceptions allowed. The same dress guidelines apply for the members of the court.
Please see the Florist/Decoration Policy for guidelines.

Due to the busy schedule of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church as well as out of respect for the professional schedules of the priest and ministries involved, we ask that you make every effort to ensure everyone arrives early so that the celebration can begin on time. Please follow the Quinceanera Coordinator’s guidance regarding arrival time. If you arrive 15 minutes late, the Mass will no longer be celebrated. Instead, the ceremony will be shortened to a Liturgy of the Word.
