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 in 2000, 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 also recently published a summary of those writings in the
Fall of 2009 in a book called The
Final Confrontation.
At the same time, Mark
has also launched the 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.
