| From Dramatic Conversion to Extraordinary PriesthoodThe course of Stuart “Stu” Long’s life veered radically after a near-death experience and spiritual conversion led him to seminary; it changed again when he was diagnosed with the degenerative disease that would lead to his death at age 50. Father Stu, a new film starring Mark Wahlberg and based on the true story of this extraordinary Montana priest, will be released in theaters April 13. Father Stu’s bishop, brother Knights and father recently spoke with the Knights of Columbus about his life and witness, and Jonathan Reyes, the Order’s senior vice president of communications and strategic partnerships, interviewed Wahlberg about the new movie and its underlying themes.
