Chicago chef Art Smith and husband Jesus Salgueiro made local history when their four children were part of the first baptism with same-sex parents that Pope Francis blessed and that was performed at Holy Name Cathedral, according to Chicago NOW.
Each of the couple’s four children—Brando Arthur, Angel Jesus, Zumy Iris and Zuky Francis Smith-Salgueiro—received engraved plaques with apostolic blessings from the pope. Monsignor Dan Mayall baptized the children into the Catholic faith.
A reception followed at Smith’s restaurant Table 52 for family and friends.
