Fr. Leo Patalinghug

Father Leo is many things. In addition to being a priest member of the community of consecrated life Voluntas Dei (The Will of God), he is a renowned chef, author, podcast host, theologian, relationship expert, black-belt martial arts instructor, international speaker, entrepreneur, and more.

Through everything Father Leo does, his message is one that unifies people, even if that means having difficult conversations and addressing uncomfortable topics. He helps us build a closer relationship with God and each other. His work aims to strengthen our own family relationships while broadening the relationships we have as a global family.

Plating Grace is a movement led by Father Leo with a mission to build relationships, strengthen families, as well as communities, utilizing the power of food. The movement began with one proven concept; the act of sharing meals can help families thrive and bring people together who may have different views or backgrounds. Plating Grace has now reached thousands of people through Father Leo’s pilgrimage around the world to feed people body, mind and soul.

In 2015, Father Leo founded The Table Foundation, a nonprofit organization with a mission to support to culinary community along with assisting those returning to the community from the prison system. The objective being to assimilate them through a formation process and give them culinary training to obtain skills needed to earn gainful employment.
