I've never see a Confirmation party be more than a back yard barbecue or small catered thing for family/friends.
OK, let's change it slightly. Say Cecelia was adopted by a Mexican-American family and she was celebrating her quinceanera (I know this isn't a religious celebration per se, but often girls are blessed by their priests at Mass). Would it have made the the city/regional section of the paper? Would she have made the news as a debutante? I could see a profile of her for the latter, but not an entire article.

She's a Chinese girl adopted by a lesbian Jewish couple. It's a multicultural trifecta.

Yea!
One of her moms used to be Catholic. Makes it even more multicultural!
