“I’ve been getting a lot of messages from people who have been praying every day and finding peace. And especially sending wonderful messages about doing the rosary with me on the Hallow app,” Mark Wahlberg, said in a video message last week to his more than 18 million followers on Instagram.
"Let's do the rosary together and stay prayed up. You got to stay prayed up. God bless you," he added.
Catholic prayer and meditation app Hallow launched a partnership with Wahlberg earlier this month. It is the most downloaded and used Catholic app in the world and released resources as the actor’s newest film “Father Stu” was released.
Mark Wahlberg, who plays Father Stuart Long, in the movie has always been vocal about his Catholic faith.
He has spoken publicly about his devout Catholic faith, including releasing his daily routine in 2018 detailing a 2:30 a.m. wake up that kicks off with prayer at 2:45 a.m.
“Being a Catholic is the most important aspect of my life,” Wahlberg said in an earlier interview with the Catholic Herald in the U.K.
“The first thing I do when I start my day is, I get down on my hands and knees and give thanks to God,” Wahlberg continued. “If I can start my day out by saying my prayers and getting myself focused, then I know I’m doing the right thing. That 10 minute helps me in every way throughout the day.”
