Songs with anasterisk (*) are suitable for high school or collegestudents. The categories cover the feasts andseasons of Thanksgiving, Advent, Marian feasts,Epiphany (Christmas was not included because ofthe familiarity and volume of repertoire avail-able), Lent, and Easter. There are also sugges-tions for first Communion and graduation. Thesesuggestions first appeared in the November 2002and January 2003 issues of Catholic MusicEducator.

The songs in each section are listed by title,
