Fr. Leo Patalinghug
What do you get when you combine a former award-winning choreographer for break-dancing groups, 3rd degree Black Belt Martial Arts Instructor, acclaimed chef, TV and radio personality, and priest? None other than Fr. Leo Patalinghug! Raised and currently based in the Baltimore, MD area, but born in the Philippines, Fr. Leo is a priest member of a community of consecrated life, Voluntas Dei. He is the founder, host, and director of Plating Grace, an international apostolate to help strengthen families and relationship through God's gift of a family meal. Fr. Leo is a best-selling author, and the host of Savoring Our Faith on EWTN, which was developed following his dynamic win on the cooking competition, "Throw Down! with Bobby Flay." He has also established a non-profit organization, The Table Foundation, with the mission to elevate culture and family life, one meal at a time. Fr. Leo travels frequently for speaking engagements and pilgrimages to promote the importance of not what appears on the table, but who gathers around it.

Her tender heart of prayer combined with the rare talent of her voice has made for a unique and intimate experience of prayer everywhere she goes. Sarah's passion is to create a safe and prayerful space through her music in which people can encounter the heart of God in a profound way.

Sr. Mary Jackson
Sr. Mary is a Salesian Sister. Her religious community is also known as Daughters of Mary Help of Christians.   An amazing conversion experience led her to a Religious Vocation. She professed her vows 12 years ago.  On that day, she realized God's dream and her dreams were a perfect match. Currently ministering at Villa Madonna Catholic School in Tampa, Sr. Mary is passionate for Jesus and young people. She can be found in the classroom, on the basketball court and in the chapel, always with the young. Her prayerful and energetic way are fueled by her relationship with Jesus.
