Talking Catholic

Hosted ByMike, Marianela, Mary and Kari

Talking Catholic hosts interview Catholic leaders about what brought them to where they are now and how they are bringing the faith to their communities.

Mark Wahlberg talks Father Stu

Yes, our guest this episode is Mark Wahlberg. Really. 

And since his movie about a priest comes out this week, we’re putting out the podcast a few days early. 

Our hard-working host Jen Mauro was able to sit down with him one-on-one for 12 minutes while he was in Philadelphia on a press tour for his new movie “Father Stu” (https://www.fatherstumovie.com/), which follows the life of Father Stuart Long, a boxer-turned-priest who inspired countless people during his journey from self-destruction to redemption. Jen chats with him about the movie, his perspective on why Fr. Stu is such a compelling figure, as well as his own connection to the Catholic faith. 

Prior to the interview, Jen and Mike Walsh also chat a little about some upcoming events, including the Way of St. James Walk in Ventnor on April 30 (https://camdendiocese.org/event/the-way-of-st-james-intergenerational-pilgrimage-walk/), the upcoming ordination of five diocesan priests on May 14, and the New Jersey Catholic Youth Rally at Six Flags Great Adventure on May 15 (https://camdendiocese.org/event/nj-catholic-youth-rally-2022/).
