The Amazing Spiritual Quest of Shia LaBeouf – ‘Padre Pio’ Star Receives the Sacrament of Confirmation Into Catholic Church, Says He Wants To Become a Deacon
Film fans and Christian believers alike: rejoice!
Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf has been formally received into the Catholic Church with the sacrament of confirmation by Minnesota Bishop Robert Barron, on New Year’s Eve.
This follows a surprising but incredibly sincere awakening of the actor’s faith, after the long immersive work he undertook to play the role of St. Pio of Pietrelcina in Abel Ferrara’s movie Padre Pio.
LaBeouf’s confirmation sponsor and LaBeouf co-star in the film, Capuchin Friar Brother Alexander Rodriguez further revealed that the actor wants to become a deacon ‘sometime in the future’.
Brother Rodriguez said that LaBeouf began entertaining the idea of the diaconate during the making of the movie.
