Commencement Speaker
Mr. James Wahlberg
We are excited that Mr. James Wahlberg will join us as our commencement speaker and honorary doctorate recipient. Jim is the executive director of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, which was created to improve the quality of life for inner-city youth through a working partnership with other youth organizations. He is a producer, writer, and director of films, and uses his talents and experiences to raise awareness about opioid addiction and point to the hope found in Christ.
Jim is the author of The Big Hustle, a story about his personal journey of recovery. He is the Executive Producer of Fathom Event’s #1 documentary of the year, Mother Teresa: No Greater Love, which was released in the US in 2022 and internationally in 2023. Most recently he produced, Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist, a documentary that takes viewers on a global journey to uncover the transformative power of the Eucharist. Jesus Thirsts won #1 Documentary of the year 2024. Jim has been married to his lovely wife Benny for 30 years and they have three children. The story of his faith journey is truly inspiring.
