the Catholic News Agency reported that the former “Even Stevens” child star was confirmed on Sunday by Bishop Robert Barron — of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota — in a ceremony at Old Mission Santa Inés Parish in Solvang, California.“We are thrilled to share that our dear friend Shia LaBeouf has fully entered the church this past weekend through the sacrament of confirmation,” the Western chapter of the Capuchin Franciscans said in a statement posted to Facebook.LaBeouf’s confirmation sponsor, Capuchin Alexander Rodriguez, told the Catholic News Agency that the “Transformers” star wants to become a deacon “sometime in the future.”“He just spontaneously said, ‘I want to become a deacon,’ and he still feels that way,” Rodriguez said.Unlike priests, deacons can be married — however, according to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, if LaBeouf were to become a deacon while he is not married, then he may need to remain celibate.
According to LA Catholics, “at the Mass, the deacon proclaims the Gospel, may be invited to preach the homily, and assists at the altar.
The deacon may also baptize, witness and bless marriages, preside at the Liturgy of the Hours, and preside at funeral liturgies among many other duties.”LaBeouf’s pivot toward a more religious life comes after the “Honey Boy” actor had several bouts of legal trouble in 2020 and was accused of abusing an ex-girlfriend.
