2. Faith Formation
   The young lady must have participated actively for at least one year in one of the following at St. Francis Xavier Parish: LifeTeen, EDGE, or Family Faith Formation. Alternatively, current attendance at a Catholic high school also fulfills this requirement.

   A donation of $850 is required, which includes music for the ceremony. Please note: there is no fee reduction if you choose to use outside musicians.
7. Deposit
   A non-refundable deposit of $250 is required to reserve your date. Please note that changing the date after booking will result in the forfeiture of this deposit.
8. Pre-Ceremony Meeting
   The priest celebrating the Quinceañera will meet with the young lady and her family at least one month before the ceremony to get acquainted and discuss the celebration.
