The Corpus Christi Male Chorale was formed in 1996 on the initiative of Peter Dueck, the choir's president, who, together with a few others, generated interest and recruited singers. Since then, the choir has performed regularly, in and around Calgary as well as in various other locations, both in Canada and the U.S. Under the direction of Daniel Bensler, the choir has grown steadily, both musically and in size, although many of the current members have been with the choir since its formation. Participation in the choir provides members with the opportunity to socialize with others of the faith community, to have the enjoyment of making music, and further, to minister to others in both spiritual and practical ways through the medium of choral singing. Increasingly, the choir has been able to participate in fundraising efforts for the benefit of local churches and relief agencies as well as international aid projects.

The choir's own regular performances include an annual Christmas fundraiser and a spring concert at the end of each season. The chorus also gives numerous performances throughout the year in various churches. The choir has built a large repertoire, sacred as well as secular, in a wide range of musical styles, and continues to add new music each season. The chorus has two recordings which are very well received.

The first CD of "Let the Nations Sing" was recorded in the spring of 2003 at First Mennonite Church, Calgary. All proceeds raised through the sale of this CD and cassette go towards the relief, service, and peace agency work of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).

The second CD of "A Christmas Collection of Music and Miracles" was recorded in the fall of 2004 at Christ Church, Calgary. All proceeds raised through the sale of this CD goes towards the humanitarian inner-city work of The Mustard Seed, Calgary.
