Im not sure about that. A quinceanera is a CATHOLIC tradtion. I doubt that the baptist church will know anything about a Quinceanera.

Yeah I thought it might but my preacher used to be Catholic he may understand... I think I am going to talk to him and see if he can do anything for coming of age.

It will be hard. Yes, it`s really a Catholic tradition BUT, if your not Catholic I can`t see why you still can have a Quince. Finding a church will be difficult. This was my problem. The Catholics won`t let you have it at their church because you have to go through THEIR guidelines (CCD classes, etc). The Baptist won`t let you have it in their church because they don`t believe in all the partying that comes after the service. So, what did I do? I`m having it in chapel. One good thing I was able to find reverened (father) to do the ceremony. We will be having my daughter`s quince in less then a month. She`s been a good daughter and she loves Jesus. What a better way to confess her faith? You can overcome these small problems with a little work.
God Bless!!!

Thanks for the help but is Free Will Baptist really differant from Baptist because I am Free Will and I believe in God, Jesus, and St. Mary (I dont really have a true religion) I just believe and follow. I hope your daughters party goes Greatly. Good Luck.
