Actor Mark Wahlberg grabbed the attention of millions of people during the Super Bowl weekend with his appearance in an advertisement promoting a Catholic meditation app called Hallow. In the advertisement, Wahlberg sat in a church and prayed to God. This resulted in a surge of downloads as people were curious to try the app.

Following the advertisement’s success, Wahlberg and actor Jonathan Roumie, who both lead worldwide prayer meditations on the app, appeared on the Fox and Friends show.
