The Adult Choir has a long tradition of strong musical leadership at St. Edward Parish. The choir is three-part ensemble, composed of about fifteen members. The choir ministers at the 9:15 AM Mass and prepares through weekly rehearsals on Thursday evenings from 6:45-8 PM in the Church. In addition, the choir sings at the liturgies of Holy Week, Easter, Christmas and other special liturgies during the year.
The Contemporary Music Group under the direction of Chris Carson, is open to all singers and instrumentalists in Grades 6-12. The group rehearses prior to Mass, and serves at the 5:00 PM Mass on Sunday and at special services throughout the year. The repertoire is mostly contemporary liturgical music.
The Children's Choir is a seasonal choir that rehearses for one month, leading up to the Christmas and Easter liturgies. The choir will sing at the 4:00 PM Mass on Christmas Eve, and the 9:30 Mass on Easter Sunday. Any child in grades 1-5 is invited to sing in the Children's Choir.
