Julie Carrick

Bio

Julie Carrick was born and raised in Northern Michigan, Julie Fran Edel, the fourth of seven children. Her desire to serve Christ began at an early age and stems back to her involvement in Liturgical Music, following in the footsteps of 3 generations of Catholic Musicians. She worked within the Diocese of Phoenix for 10 years as Director of Music prior to accepting the call to a national and international concert and speaking ministry.

Julie is not your typical recording artist. Her real life experiences are shared in her speaking engagements, and formed into the lyric that are her songs. The workshops she has developed have been beneficial to thousands of Catholics and other Christians in their spiritual development. Her witness shares the real heart of a woman who has experienced some of the toughest things in life and because of her Catholic faith, has stayed the course with Christ. Most recently a Lung Cancer survivor, she knows what it means to 'live' her Catholic Faith.

Julie is married to Kurt Carrick, her husband of 25 years. They have 3 children, 2 sons-in-law and 2 grandsons. They began their life together in Germany and after 5 years moved to AZ. Julie's national concert ministry began in 1996. She has written and recorded seven music CDs and a Rosary CD, in which she and Kurt pray together.
