    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 vocal 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.

    Please visit Mother of Mercy Catholic Hymns and read The Music of Sister Mary Editha

    How interesting to see a reference to the Servant of God, Sister Mary Blandina, as I was just reading about "The Fastest Nun in the West!"

    Thank you for reading and for the comment! Sister Mary Blandina quoted in this article is actually Sister Mary Blandina Mosgrove, B.V.M., who preserved these wonderful, humorous memories of Sister Editha's singing.
