09 Eucharistic Congress Photo Blog -Fr. Leo "Grace Before Meals"




Father Leo is a Filipino priest who immigrated to the US in his youth. He graduated magna cum laude and summa cum laude in his priestly studies in Rome. His vocation is to spread the Gospel through "cooking".

In the 2009 Eucharistic Congress in Charlotte, he explained what his vocation is all about. The bottom line of his talk is "you do not know when you will be challenged to a "throw down". Are you ready?"

What a profound statement!!! Are we really ready to pass life's trials?




From the website of Fr. Leo www.gracebeforemeals.com

Flay traveled to the Mount St. Mary’s campus in June and challenged Father Leo to the “Throwdown” marking the first time the Iron Chef has faced off against a priest. The two prepared Fusion Fajitas for a select group of families, members of the Mount St. Mary’s community and other guests outside University President, Thomas H. Powell’s home. “Having Bobby Flay challenge me to a Throwdown was a complete surprise and shock,” said Father Leo. “I’m a huge fan of his and Food Network so it was an honor just to be on the show and cook alongside of an Iron Chef. It was a fun day having people come together and enjoy our fajitas…it’s what the concept of Grace Before Meals is all about.”
