Singing and playing
guitar since the age of nine, Mark Mallett is a Canadian singer/songwriter
& Catholic evangelist. Since leaving his career as a successful
television journalist, Mark has been touring extensively throughout
North America and abroad giving parish missions & concerts,
and speaking and ministering at retreats, conferences and Catholic
schools. He had the privilege of singing at the Vatican and presenting
his music to Pope Benedict XVI. Mark has appeared on EWTN's Life
on the Rock as well as on a number of other television and radio
broadcasts.
While singing a song he
had written for the Liturgy of the Mass ("Holy, Holy,
Holy"), Mark felt drawn to go to the church and pray
before the Blessed Sacrament. It was there that He heard the
Lord calling him to become a watchman for this generation, as
Pope John Paul II asked the youth at World Youth Day in Toronto,
Canada.
With that, and under the
care of his spiritual directors, Mark began to publish meditations
on the internet to prepare the Church for the dramatic times
we live in. They are now read by thousands throughout the world
(www.markmallett.com/blog).
Mark is also publishing a summary of those writings in the Spring
of 2009 in a book called The Final Confrontation.
At the same time, Mark
is also launching this second phase of his ministry in a weekly
webcast called Embracing
Hope.
Mark and
his wife Lea have eight beautiful children together and make
their home in Western Canada.
