We continue to honour the memory of Jacqueline Parmelee (beloved sister of Mantis) who was a long time survivor of sexual and domestic violence by raising money and awareness for Safe Steps.

It is in her name we give shelter to those needing protection and support.

Mantis and the Prayer's latest single release Roses Blue, is a passionate tribute to the memory of Mantis' sister Jacqueline. It is a musical journey of childhood reflection, innocence lost and the anguishing response in the spirit realm. It is a searching for reconnection and by the end a shattering result is achieved.
