Part of "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" was filmed in the town I grew up in, also starring the local high school band ('Ferris' sang on one of their floats during the movie).

I think he received the Holy Ghost at a So CA church, which one I don't know. I can't even remember where I heard this, maybe even on this forum!

I read an article once about him being saved
but no type of church or religion was mentioned. I was curious at the time due to some of the comments he made but I don't remember now what they were.
