PLEASE NOTE: Due to the heavy commitment
of Mark's weekly webcast (EHTV) and blog (Spiritual
Food for Thought),
he is taking extremely limited bookings at this time.
A significant part of
Mark's ministry
has been within Catholic schools over the last 10 years. He's
spoken to over 35,000 youth (both grade school & high school),
and the experience is consistently powerful. His presentation
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 keen
musical ability, sharp 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.
If your school
is a K-9 or K-12 school, it is highly recommended that you separate
the students 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.
REMUNERATION:
If the school can offer Mark a $500 stipend, that would be greatly
appreciated. If you are booking two concerts back to back, a
$750 stipend would be acceptable.
