Catholic hymns

Church choir repertoire

Catholic hymns are religious songs sung in Catholic worship, typically during Mass or other liturgical services.

They range from ancient Latin chants like Ave Maria to modern vernacular hymns.

Some are shared with Protestant traditions, while others draw specifically from Catholic theology and devotion to Mary and the saints: The congregation stood to sing a Catholic hymn honoring the Blessed Virgin.
