I remember the sacred pieces were issued on CD on the Bongiovanni label, I had a catalog at one point, but I can't find at the moment. Bongiovannt recordings are usually live and the performers are of provincial quality.
This also of some may be of some help

Just found this a review from the American Record Guide Jan/Feb 2002
BELLINI: Masses; Salve Regina
Lucca Opera/ Gianfranco Cosmi Bongiovanni 2295-74 minutes
The three works-two Masses and a Salve Regina-offered here were student efforts, written before Bellini went to the conservatory in Naples, or possibly as compositions submitted to that institution as part of the admission requirements. While all three have pleasant moments and show promise for the future, they scale no heights and plumb no depths. Only in the 'Qui tollis' of the Masses do we hear the composer of Norma and Puritani (the somewhat unusual combination of baritone soloist and orchestra in the Salve Regina also resembles a scene from an early opera). ...The Lucca forces perform with a sure sense of style ...and the sound from the Basilica di San Frediano is excellent.
Cheers
