Mario Lopez shared several photos Sunday of what he said was his son Dominic’s first communion. Our Dominic had his 1st Holy Communion & we couldn’t be more proud, the TV host wrote on social media while sharing pictures of his wife, Courtney Mazza, Dominic, 8, and their other two children Gia, 11, and Santino, 3. Lopez hashtagged the posts #Catholic #1stCommunion and #LopezBoys.
While his older sister and younger brother were casually attired in denim and shorts, Dominic looked dapper in a black suit and cross necklace. Lopez documented his trip and his baptism on social media. We are at the Jordan River where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ, he said in a video posted to Twitter at the time. I’m about to get baptized. It’s a beautiful day. There’s a really cool Catholic priest that’s gonna do me the honors. And there’s a sermon going on right now. So I’m going to join these fine folks and then, bam! It’s on!

Lopez told the media in 2017 that he and his family go to church every Sunday and if he can’t for some reason, he makes sure he lights a candle at a church sometime that week. I think as I’ve gotten older, I’ve just tried to build a more spiritual muscle in a business that is very unpredictable, he explained. It’s nice to have something that is consistent in our life family and faith are that for me.
He added, I am proud of who I am and what I am and being Catholic. The Saved by the Bell actor earlier this month wanted his kids’ names to be Italian and we wanted them Catholic.
