The Quinceañera or Quince Años (sometimes represented XV Años, meaning "fifteen years") is, in some Spanish-speaking regions of the Americas, a young woman's celebration of her fifteenth birthday, which is celebrated in a unique and different way from her other birthdays. In some countries, such as Puerto Rico or Peru, the word Quinceañero is used instead of Quinceañera when referring to the celebration.

The word is also used to refer to the young woman whose 15th birthday is being celebrated (analogous to the word cumpleañera for "birthday girl"). The closest equivalents to the Quinceañera in the English-speaking world are the sweet sixteen or, in more affluent communities, a debutante ball at the age of eighteen. In some cases, the birthday girl has a choice of a quinceañera, a trip, or a car.

I think the only thing is you have to be from a Spanish-influenced family. It's a Debutante ball, a Coming-of-Age thing that has nothing to do with religion. It's not a Bar Mitzfa (which is both religious and a Debutante thing).

I know our Catholic Church has them all the time for the girls in the Spanish Community, but, I don't know anything about them. Call your nearest Catholic Church.
