A blessed day of Celebrations

Forest's God Parent: Micheal Schoppa Forest's Christian Witness: Janessa Cornett

Steven Swartz and Laura Patino

My parents have been married for 30 years. Together they have over 50 god children, from baptisms to communion to confirmation to marriage they have been there for many individuals that have chosen them to walk their faith along them. They met when they were kids and together raised my self Laura Patino, and my brother Salvador Patino. They have one grandson named Forest Swartz and a son in law named Steven Swartz. They have two furry grandbabies named Vader and Xeo. In their family Laura and Salvador have shown time and time again what it means to love and respect each other. I always wanted to find a love like theirs and now I have. Through their example they have shown how to work as a team in raising a family. They both serve their community through acts of service and volunteering. They are a dynamic duo. Today we also celebrate them, this is a surprise they only think it is Forest's Baptism. If you are a god child please wear any shade of Green. There will be a moment when I call all off the God Kids present to stand up and take a picture. -Laura Patino
