A Catholic Trilingual Book of Hymns & Chants
A Traditional Catholic Hymnal in English, Spanish and Latin for a singing congregation and choir or schola.
A Trilingual Hymnal Unites Parishes
This Trilingual Edition of A Catholic Book of Hymns & Chants is offered to the faithful as a treasury of sacred song in English, Latin, and Spanish, the languages most commonly heard in Catholic worship throughout the Americas and beyond. It brings together the hymns of A Catholic Book of Hymns, the complete repertoire of A Catholic Book of Gregorian Chants, and the cherished Spanish hymns found in the Manual de Cantos Religiosos (Populares).
What Makes the Trilingual Hymnal Unique
Most hymnals serve only one group—English speakers, Spanish speakers, or musicians looking for specialized editions. The Trilingual Hymnal does something no other resource does: it brings all three communities together into one book, with the same carefully curated Catholic repertoire available in English, Spanish, and Latin.
One Parish, One Voice: Instead of dividing parishioners by language, the hymnal unites them. A congregation can celebrate bilingual or trilingual liturgies without flipping between books or leaving anyone silent.
Richness of Tradition: By blending the great Catholic hymns in English, beloved Spanish devotional songs, and timeless Latin chant, the hymnal reflects the true universality of the Church.
Accessible for All Ages: Children, adults, and trained musicians alike can find music that fits their voice and faith, making the liturgy more participatory and prayerful for everyone.
Built for Real Parish Life: Choir directors and organists no longer have to juggle three different sources; they have one dependable hymnal that supports the entire worshiping community.
The result is a richer, more vibrant liturgy where everyone belongs, everyone sings, and everyone can experience the beauty of Catholic worship together.

Why We Share Our Hymnals Freely
All of our hymnals are free to sing and print because every hymn is either in the public domain or was freely given as a gift by its composer. We believe the treasures of Catholic sacred music belong to the whole Church, so we make them available as free digital downloads to anyone who wishes to pray and sing with them.
Our work is sustained by the sale of durable printed editions—crafted to last for many years in pews, choir lofts, and homes. By purchasing a book, you not only support our mission, but you also receive a volume that will serve generations of singers.
Our staff and associates are dedicated to reaching out and introducing parish priests, music directors, organists, choir directors, and volunteers involved in your sacred music program to our hymnals. Our hardbound editions, built with the same frame and durable materials as the revered St. Gregory Hymnal. Designed to stand up to daily use, they may serve your parish faithfully for 100 years or more—supporting your work and training generations of musicians.
