Mark Wahlberg credits parish priest with turning his life around

[_Abyssinia]

Mark Wahlberg has said he never would have been able to get his life back on track if it weren’t for his parish priest.

In an interview with Square Mile, Wahlberg said he was saved from a life of drugs and violence as a teenager when his priest, Fr James Flavin, took him under his wing.

“I pray every day and try to go to church every day. My faith in God is what makes me a better man,” he said. “It’s the most important part of my life.”

Thank you for posting this article. I’ve seen similar interviews from him in years past, but I’m glad to hear he’s still sharing this experience.

I admire Mark Wahlberg for speaking about his Catholic faith. Our youth needs more positive role models like him.
