Episode 10: Jim Wahlberg

Jim Wahlberg knows what it means to be visited. Growing up in a tough Boston neighborhood, Jim's early life was marked by chaos, crime, and time behind bars — until an unexpected encounter changed everything. When Mother Teresa visited his Massachusetts prison, something moved him that no punishment ever could. In this episode, Jim sits down with CPMC to reflect on that defining moment, the long road of transformation that followed, and why the simple act of showing up for someone in prison is anything but simple. For those called to prison ministry, his story is both a reminder of why this work matters and a testament to what grace looks like in the most unlikely places.
