Actor Shia LaBeouf has converted to Catholicism and was confirmed on New Year’s Eve at a Mass presided over by Capuchin Franciscan friars. The ceremony took place at Old Mission Santa Inés Parish in Solvang, California, where LaBeouf trained for his role as Padre Pio in the upcoming film. The Capuchin Franciscans-Western American Province announced the news on Facebook, sharing images of LaBeouf receiving Communion and praying at Mass. LaBeouf has had a troubled past, including struggles with alcoholism and abuse allegations, but his conversion is seen as a testament to his sincere desire to grow in his relationship with God.
