LAS VEGAS (March 30, 2023) - On December 3, 2022, Sony Films released a new version of Mark Wahlberg's film, titled "Father Stu Reborn". This new version has been rated PG-13 and is free of coarse language, making it suitable for high school and college audiences, as well as families.
Bishop George Leo Thomas, Ph.D. has written an official Study Guide to accompany the release of Father Stu Reborn. The Study Guide was created with the objective of assisting young adults preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation, inspiring young people to discern the possible vocation to the priesthood and religious life, and strengthening the Catholic faith of youth and young adults.
The Study Guide includes a wide range of discussion questions and themes that follow the plot of the film. Mark Wahlberg wrote a Foreword for the Study Guide. The official Study Guide is a digital download available at bayardfaithresources.com, which includes a printable and shareable Participant's Guide, as well as a Leader's Guide with enhanced Catholic content for parish leaders.
