The Plating Grace Academy

The Plating Grace Academy is a community created by Plating Grace, the fun, family-focused, dynamic ministry of Father Leo Patalinghug. Plating Grace seeks to bring about a future of stronger families, closer relationships, and a deeper understanding of Jesus as food for our mind, body and soul!

Fr. Leo Patalinghug is a priest member of a community of consecrated life, Voluntas Dei (The Will of God). He is the creator and founder of an international food and faith movement called Plating Grace, and founder and chair of the nonprofit group The Table Foundation. He is a best-selling author, acclaimed international speaker, host for radio, podcast and a weekly international food and faith show on EWTN, Savoring our Faith. His unique background as a chef and his previous experience as a two-time black belt martial arts instructor and former award-winning break dancer and choreographer has earned the attention of major media outlets, including the Food Network where he won "Throwdown with Bobby Flay!"  The mission to see food as a gift from God to nourish your family and to strengthen relationships is making this world a better place one meal at a time.
