My 15th Birthday - Mis 15 Años - Bilingual Formation Program and Memory Book Revised

This flexible, bilingual five-week program prepared by the Office for Hispanic Affairs in the Diocese of San Bernardino, California, helps young women prepare for their quinceañera celebration by reflecting on Hispanic culture and renewing their Catholic faith-commitment. This student workbook accompanies the teacher's manual (sold separately), both of which outline key topics for discussion, including: the cultural and religious background and significance of the quinceañera celebration; growing in relationship with Jesus through a journey of self-knowledge; the saints and women of faith as models of holiness; options for the quinceañera liturgy; and more. NOTE: This revised edition of "My 15th Birthday" no longer contains the liturgical texts present in the previous edition. Readers are now referred to the official USCCB Order for the Blessing on the Fifteenth Birthday. // Por medio de un programa flexible de cinco semanas, las jóvenes se preparan para la celebración de su quinceañera relexionando sobre su cultura hispana y renovando su compromiso de fé Católica.
