A significant part of
Mark's ministry
is within Catholic schools. He's spoken to over 30,000 youth
(both grade school & high school), and the experience is
consistently powerful. His performance includes a few songs he
has written that speak to and involve the students, along with
a challenging and thought-provoking spiritual message geared
for the age group he is speaking to. He addresses issues such
as peer pressure, courage, purity and modesty, our need for Jesus,
the Sacraments, prayer, & staying rooted in God.
Mark recognizes
the extreme need for today's youth to hear the Truth spoken in
a language they can relate to while staying true to the teachings
of the Church. He keeps the kids on their toes with his exceptional
musical ability, keen wit, audience participation and dynamic
delivery. Above all, Mark's challenging, shoot-from-the-hip message
reaches deep into their hearts and minds in a profound way, leaving
them with much to contemplate long after the performance is over.
As far as technical details go, Mark comes fully equipped with
all his own high end sound equipment that takes about an hour
to set up prior to the performance.
We have found
in the past that not only are the students ministered to and
challenged in their faith, but also the parents (yes, invite
them!) and teachers as well, who are consistently very enthusiastic
and supportive. Mark's school performances are quite different
in content from his parish concerts, so if there is an evening
concert scheduled that night in the same vicinity, it is not
a hindrance to attendance. As a matter of fact, students often
go home and encourage their parents to go that night after seeing
Mark in the afternoon.
REMUNERATION:
If the school can offer Mark a $500 stipend, that would be greatly
appreciated. If you are a smaller school with a limited budget,
whatever you are able to offer as a stipend would be acceptable.
Note... if your
school is a K-9 or K-12 school, it is highly recommended that
you separate them into two separate concerts so the elementary
students get a message targeted for their age level, and the
junior/senior high get the message age-appropriate for them.
