IRONDALE, Ala., April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — If you’re an NFL fan, you know the name Elvis Grbac, former quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens. You also know the name Ben Steele, who played for six NFL teams including the 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, and Green Bay Packers, and is currently assistant coach for the Arizona Cardinals. And if you’re Catholic, you almost surely know Mark Wahlberg’s brother Jim Wahlberg, either by name or by his work as executive producer of “Mother Teresa: No Greater Love.”
All of these men have gone on to do some incredible work in the Catholic Church and all will be featured live on EWTN’s Divine Mercy Sunday’s Preview Show, which airs at Noon ET, Sunday, April 7. (Find EWTN at www.ewtn.com/everywhere.)
The program will also feature Soloist Ashley Nemeh, a multifaceted recording artist and songwriter, who has collaborated with Grammy-winning producers and writers. She is now dedicated to using her voice to honor the Blessed Mother in everything she does.
Of course, all of this will lead up to the main attraction, Divine Mercy Sunday Mass, which will be celebrated by The Most Reverend Timothy P. Broglio, JCD, Archbishop of the Archdiocese for Military Services, USA. Mass will begin at 1 p.m. ET.
Here’s a sneak peek at what to expect from the Preview Show, as well as a roundup of other incredible Divine Mercy events, which will be airing on EWTN on this special day:
