Unusually for a Hollywood star, the actor made sure to get his new venture running with some heavenly help.
Mark Wahlberg is not one to shy away from the cameras, and likewise, he's also very open about his Catholic faith.
There also seems to be no stopping the Father Stu actor. If he's not filming a blockbuster hit, then he's working on his various businesses, staying impressively fit, enjoying his family, and championing his faith on apps like Hallow.
It's therefore not a surprise that in his latest venture, the actor has made sure that his faith took front and center stage right from the beginning.
In a recent post on social media, Wahlberg shares the grand opening of his restaurant, Flecha Cantina. Along with the crowd and all the ribbon cutting Bishop Vann from Orange County is on hand to bless the restaurant.

Similarly, Gill:
As Isaac was a stranger, she covered herself as a sign of modesty.
As Isaac was her future husband, she covered herself like a bride to demonstrate her acceptance of him as her husband and to show respect and submission to him.
What was the significance of covering herself?

Former Imam Threatened for Following Christ
[5] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Ahmed.
Ahmed was training to become an imam when he heard someone calling his name, seemingly from above. When he looked up, he saw a man on a cross staring down at him. "When I saw that, I was not able to go to the mosque," he said. "I returned home and didn't attend mosque that day because I was really afraid." Jesus appeared to Ahmed several more times over a period of years, even after he did become an imam. Ahmed described those appearances to the Muslims who attended his mosque, and they thought he was seeing demons. Read More.Jun. 13, 2024 | Bhutan

German Catholics write letter to Rome over Synodal Way, warn of ‘serious scandal’
- By Michie
- One Bread, One Body - Catholic

Just one day before a crucial meeting of the German Synodal Way, a Catholic initiative announced it has turned to the Vatican in an attempt to avoid what it sees as the risk of “serious scandal” over the push for a permanent Synodal Council to oversee the Church in Germany.
The committee charged with turning the Synodal Way into a permanent council is scheduled to meet on Friday and Saturday this week.
On Thursday, the group Neuer Anfang (“New Beginning”) said it had written a letter to Rome, dated June 11, to determine whether the constitution of such a committee “complies with or violates the Church’s legal order.”
The group’s statement also warned that if bishops’ actions were found to be breaches of duty and the Church failed to disapprove or impose consequences, this could encourage believers to ignore Church norms. Neuer Anfang described this as the risk of a “serious scandal” that could permanently damage the faith of believers.

BREAKING: SCOTUS unanimously rules against challenge to FDA's approval process for abortion drug
- By Gnarwhal

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled against a challenge to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulatory approval process of the abortion drug mifepristone, in the latest abortion case since the landmark decision in 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade.
In a victory for the Biden administration and abortion rights supporters, the high court gave a unanimous decision that challengers to the FDA lacked standing to sue the government.
"Under Article III of the Constitution, a plaintiff's desire to make a drug less available for others does not establish standing to sue. Nor do the plaintiffs' other standing theories suffice," Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote, who authored the unanimous opinion.
