What Spanish term names the Catholic thanksgiving Mass often held for a quinceañera?

The Catholic thanksgiving Mass often held for a quinceañera is called a misa de acción de gracias.

The phrase translates as “Mass of thanksgiving.” In families that include a religious ceremony, the quinceañera and her relatives attend a church service to give thanks for her life and mark the transition represented by the celebration. The service may include special prayers, readings, music, and a blessing.

This Mass is not identical to a wedding, baptism, or first Communion. A quinceañera is a cultural milestone, and the religious component is optional rather than a universal sacrament. Some families hold the Mass before the reception, while others celebrate only with a secular party.

Practices differ among countries, parishes, and families. The Spanish name is therefore useful because it identifies the thanksgiving service without implying that every quinceañera follows the same religious format.
