PARISH MINISTRIES
Welcome to our parish ministries! If God is calling you or if you want to get involved in parish ministry, scroll below to learn more about the opportunities at St. Edwards.
OUR HISTORY
Although priests from Riverside came to Corona as early as 1887 to celebrate mass at a "preaching station," (private home), it was almost 20 years before the parish was established as a mission parish in 1896.
​
Fr. J.M. McCarthy built the first church, named after St. John the Baptist and dedicated in 1898 by Bishop Montgomery of the Diocese of Los Angeles. Established as a parish in 1908, it received its first resident pastor, Fr. William Power, the following year.
Fr. Clarence Kimmons replaced the original building with a "stone" church twenty years later. At its dedication in 1919, the name was changed to St. Edward, the Confessor.

In Service to the Church
Knights are the ‘strong right arm’ of their local parishes. They help with tasks and special projects that require both the financial and manpower based resources that the Knights can provide.
In Serving the Community
Knights, pray for and show support for their local police, fire and emergency personnel. They also sponsor and support food drives and fund drives to raise money for charity.
For the Good of the Council
Councils hold activities that foster fraternal bonds between members, allow for networking opportunities and building leadership skills in members that lead to professional success. Council service programs are designed on a council to council basis to conduct projects that suit both the needs of the community and the interest of the membership.
For the Family
Councils sponsor social functions that are open to members and their families. Councils conduct several events every year ranging from movie night to holiday parties and barbecue events.

Encuentro Matrimonial
Worldwide Marriage Encounter is a week- end for married Christian couples who value their relationship and desire a richer, fuller life together. Couples from all over the world have experienced the beauty and the gift of the weekend. The emphasis of Worldwide Marriage Encounter is on communication between husband and wife, who spend a weekend together away from the distractions and the tensions of everyday life, to concentrate on each other. They want to share that experience with you, because they found something worth passing on.
​
El fin de semana del Encuentro Matrimonial es una experiencia positiva y personal para parejas, sacerdotes y religiosos/as. Es una buena oportunidad para examinar profundamente su relación entre ambos, con Dios y con la Iglesia. Este Encuentro está diseñado para extender y revitalizar la alegría de vivir el Plan de Dios en una rel- ación sacramental.
