The melodic voice of Catholic Musician, Mark Forrest has filled concert halls and cathedrals world wide. He has sung inspirational hymns for luminaries such as Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa. His soothing Broadway melodies have entertained award-winning performers including Charlton Heston and Maureen O'Hara. His lyrics portray the sanctity of human life, at every stage and age. Mark & his wife Muriel established the Faith and Family Foundation in 1999, to support and encourage individuals and families with special needs. Their efforts were born out of the sorrowful death of their third baby boy - Francesco - who was diagnosed in utero with a severely compromised heart. He lived only five days, "touching more people than I ever will in a lifetime," Mark says. Their second son, John Patrick, was also born with special needs and is battling a rare nerve condition that has left him blind and confined to a wheelchair. Born in Dublin, Ireland, awarded full scholarships to study music and educated at the Royal College of Music, Irish Tenor Mark could allow his exceptional talent to take him world wide with Broadway touring companies. But he is committed to his own family and to his life's work sharing his music through The Faith and Family Foundation.
