Singing and playing guitar
since the age of nine, Mark Mallett is a Canadian singer/songwriter & Catholic
missionary. Since leaving his career as a successful television journalist over
six years ago, Mark has been touring extensively throughout North America and
abroad giving concerts and speaking and ministering at retreats, conferences and
Catholic schools. He recently had the privilege of singing at the Vatican and
presenting his music to Pope Benedict XVI, as well as appearing on EWTN''s Life
on the Rock."Music has always been my first love," says Mark. "When I was going to university, the highlight of my week was sitting in the echoey stairwell of our historic residence, and playing my songs into the evening instead of doing homework. Music has been a distraction my whole life! When I should be working, I'm singing. When I should be sleeping, I'm writing. The music pursues me, and it's hard not to respond..."
Mark has picked up three national awards for his recordings, and his third album, a contemporary & powerful Rosary CD. "Through Her Eyes, a Journey to Jesus", has drawn much acclaim from Catholics all over the world. In the spring of 2005, Mark released "Song for Karol", a beautiful tribute song to Pope John Paul II and also released his long-awaited Eucharistic Worship CD "Let the Lord Know" in the summer of 2005.
Mark and his wife Lea have seven beautiful children together, and make their home in Western Canada.
