Mark Wahlberg also had an interesting and troubled past that led him to finding Christianity. Mark was the youngest child of nine, and dropped out of school at 13. He even had to serve prison time. However today, he’s committed to being a devout Catholic. His stints in prison were a large wakeup call for him, and Mark realized that he wouldn’t find anything to fill the void in his heart besides Christ. Mark keeps in touch daily with his parish priest, Father Ed Flavin, who married Mark and his wife and baptized all their children. Mark also speaks at various churches to encourage other young children that may be struggling to find Christ.
