What Spanish phrase commonly names the religious service held for a quinceañera?

The religious service commonly held for a quinceañera is called a Misa de Acción de Gracias.

This Spanish phrase translates as “Thanksgiving Mass” or “Mass of Thanksgiving.” In Catholic families, it gives the celebration a formal religious setting and provides an opportunity to express gratitude for the celebrant’s life and continued growth.

The service may include a blessing, readings, prayers, and the presentation of symbolic items. A reception or dance usually follows, although the order and content depend on the family and parish.

A Misa de Acción de Gracias is not required for every quinceañera. Many celebrations are secular, and some churches use different names or local procedures. The phrase should therefore be understood as a common traditional term rather than a universal official rite of the Catholic Church.
