My husband and I are both Puerto Rican, although I'm not fluent in spanish. We're trying to incorporate songs in spanish for our wedding mass. Any suggestions?
Oregon Catholic Press, www.ocp.org has a lot of liturgical music in Spanish. Type Spanish into the search window and you can find plenty of music, Some of the music you can preview.
You can also check out www.catholicbrids.com. They have a link to appropriate music for weddings.
I'm looking for a song to be played at my wedding when we present flowers to the statue of the Blessed Mother. I am already planning to use Ave Maria as I walk down the aisle. We will be having a string quartet playing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Here are a couple of Wedding Song lists:

does anyone have good music for a catholic memorial mass....if soo please tell me what and where i can find free sheet music
GIOVANNI PIERLUIGI DA PALESTRINA
Works:
Sacred music, including 104 Masses, more than 250 motets, some 200 liturgical pieces (psalms, Magnificats, hymns, etc.) and 50 spiritual madrigals
Secular music, comprising nearly 100 madrigals
Can I play with the Catholic music group at the Mass if I am not Catholic? The requirement is a good musical ability Grade 6 or better and if you enjoy the music at Mass. A friends mum said they were looking for musicians you see but | am not religious and have never been to a church service. I love to play my Clarinet and Saxophone.
It seems like an acceptable venue to play your instrument if you are interested in joining their orchestra, and they are willing to have you. I've found that as long as you don't disrespect their faith while in the church, most Catholics I know are pretty easy going about having non-believers participate with them.
I would caution you to not participate in communion during Mass if you are not a follower. That can be considered rude and insensitive.
I hope this helps.

Catholic Gifts – Ideas for Baptism and More: A Guide to Religious ...
Within the Catholic Church, there are seven sacraments. While some, such as the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick, may be celebrated individually, most are community events. Family and friends often join together to commemorate occasions such as baptism, first communion and confirmation.
It is not uncommon for gifts to be bestowed upon the person receiving the sacrament. However, it can be difficult to find the perfect item to mark these important events. Below are some suggestions for Catholic gift-giving as well as unique gifts.
Catholic Baptism GiftsAt baptism, original sin is removed, and a person formally enters into the Catholic Church. Although baptism can occur at any time, most Catholic parents have their children baptized as infants. Since Catholic baby gifts are not always easy to find, many baptismal gifts are intended for either future use or as a remembrance of the day.
...Italian Catholic : Write Club RVA
I grew up in Northern New Jersey, in an Italian Catholic household. The town was small, population 2000. There were 6 houses on my street. Five of the families attended the local Catholic Church. Every Sunday, the five families would meet in the church basement which served as our church home for a number of years, sit in the cold metal folding chairs, recite the same prayers, wish peace to the same people. I remember the feeling of the cold metal chairs. How, because of the size of the church, there was no CCD, and thus I was made to sit through the entire Mass. My mom didn’t believe in bringing a book or small toy to keep her children occupied, because that would take their attention away from the Mass. At that age, I was resentful. Years later, I’ve grown to respect her for that, as boring as it was to sit through something I didn’t understand. A number of years later we moved to Richmond, and I was given the option of going to public or private school. I looked at my options and decided on Saint Gertrude High School, in Richmond’s Museum District. My parents were proud that I made that choice, mostly so they could say they had a kid in private school, and eschew their mutually fair weathered West End friends, blaming it on a private school function. I would be remiss to say that my faith grew during my four years at the school. I became more involved in my home church; teaching Sunday school, attending Confirmation retreats as an ‘adult’ advisor (I was sixteen…the word adult is used loosely here), and heading up the Lay Eucharist Ministry. As far as the Catholic Church was concerned, I could go no further unless I became a nun. I heard that repeatedly during my high school years, yet was always told that nuns aren’t sarcastic, so I was out. That was fine with me, as I continued my theological studies; I began to question my faith. During my senior year, I was elected to the position of state youth representative for the Catholic Diocese of Richmond. Along with the two other girls from the Richmond region, I was tasked with planning local retreats, getting Catholic youth excited about their faith, and planning the summer Convention, where Catholic youth from the state of Virginia would gather and worship for a weekend. As much as the Council seat helped my personal life during my last year of high school, it helped shape my current faith life. It was there, during the weekend retreats, that I began to question my faith. Did the wine really turn to blood? What is so special about wafers that are bought at the store before Mass on Sunday? (I was told as a child that the nuns bake the unleavened bread before services). Why are babies who are not baptized before an untimely death punished to Limbo instead of being received into Heaven? If God so loves, why was there a Hell? I remember not too long after my parents left the Church, on the morning news, the anchor announced that the Pope had decided to do away with Limbo. My dad, who went to church because it was what you did on Sundays, asked my mom what that was. She shrugged and looked at me. I explained that Limbo was the place a baby would go if they died before baptism. My mom turned indignant. “That’s why we had you baptized in the NICU,” she said accusingly. I’m not sure if she was accusing the church or me. I tried not to care. My dad again glances up from the New York Times. Stuttering, he says that he doesn’t understand. Why don’t babies go to Heaven? That’s where they belong. I slowly nod. He angrily shakes his head. “That’s stupid,” he said, his version of the worst insult ever, and went back to his paper; giving the news story a glaring fuck you. I left the Church after graduation due to personal reasons, and did not return, save for two family funerals, for about seven years. I found a church that was holding a contemporary praise and worship service for young adults. It was completely different from the rigid church experience I had grown up with. It took getting used to, and it took being comfortable enough with myself, since my family was not okay with my decision, even though they themselves had long since left the Catholic church. That service has since disbanded because the young adults were not providing enough funding towards the service, according to the church. Right now, I tend not to define my spirituality outside of ‘Christian.’ I have seen enough political greed, ruined families and abuse of power in organized religion that although I would love to find a church home, I am comfortable blasting contemporary Christian music from my Jeep, from my room, from the TV. I find myself in a local coffee shop that plays Christian music, sipping coffee, attempting to get work done, and the next thing I know, I am getting glances from other patrons because I am singing to the all too familiar songs. My spiritual journey is private. It is one thing I have to myself and I guard it with intensity. I am an empathetic person, yet tell me that my views are wrong and how you believe, how your church worships, is what I should be doing, tell me that because the Bible, a book written over 2000 years ago, with many translations and even more interpretations, is meant to be taken literally, and my empathetic nature is replaced by a defensive Italian from New Jersey. Who knows where my journey will take me next. With an open mind and an open heart, I continue to explore my personal, private theology.
