Hymn of the Month - June: The Music of Sister Mary Editha, B.V.M.

For this month’s featured article, I invite you to discover the life and legacy of Sister Mary Editha, B.V.M., a gifted Catholic hymn composer whose beautiful music shaped devotional life. Drawing on exclusive archival research and historical sources, this article traces her life, ministry, and hymnody. It features a three-column manuscript gallery and—for the first time—actual archival vocal and instrumental recordings performed by the student choirs of Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix, Arizona. Her story offers a rare, moving glimpse into the history of Catholic hymnody and the dedicated women who safeguarded the musical memory of our faith.

Please take a moment to read, listen, and explore this important piece of Catholic musical history.
